Sithengi is looking for excellent scripts to be submitted to the WF at Sithengi where writers will have the opportunity to be matched with local and international producers.
Sithengi Film and Television Market are looking for strong African and South African writers to enter their feature film scripts into the 2005 Writers Forum (WF).
Submission Deadline: 15 September 2005
(No extensions will be granted)
The WF is open to all writers of full-length feature film scripts/screenplays from South Africa and Africa. Sithengi is looking for well-written, uniquely African stories that are attractive to both a local and international market.
The final selection of projects will be forwarded to invited local and international co-producers, financiers and distributors, prior to Sithengi 2005, who are looking for scripts. These industry leaders will then select the projects and writers with whom they wish to meet and the Sithengi team will set up one-on-one meetings with the interested producers and/or financiers. The Writers Forum (WF) will offer talented writers the opportunity to meet various African and International producers through this series of one-on-one meetings.
The objective of the WF is to ensure that you will be ‘matched' with the correct people - those who are genuinely interested in your project with the capacity to come on board with either financing or as a producer.
NOTE:
If you are selected for the Writers' Forum (WF) at Sithengi 2005, you have to be a registered and fully paid up Member.
