Applications are open to everyone. Of all applications received, 20 registered film students and 10 aspirants from South Africa will be selected. We are currently in negotiations to ensure talent/student representation from other African countries. Applicants (students and aspirants) chosen will then have to register as students through the online Sithengi registration system.
If you are a registered 2005 Sithengi delegate or member, then closer to the time, once we have the Talent Campus schedule up on our website, you could select the classes in which you would like to participate. Bear in mind that only 20 delegates or members will be allowed entry into the Talent Campus, with preference to members.
The sessions will accommodate 70 participants in total and will cover a variety of topics from the writing of concepts through pre-to-post-production to marketing & distribution. Classes will be presented by acclaimed local and international masters in the international film & television industry.
