This year we celebrate our 10th Anniversary at Sithengi and it promises a celebration that will clearly resound in the Cape Town World Cinema Festival, 11 - 20 November including its business component, the Sithengi Film & TV Market, 15 - 18 November.
We see this celebration as a time to reflect on and celebrate not only our own achievements, but also that of you the filmmaker. At our 10th Anniversary Celebrations we would like to showcase those projects and products that have in some way or another been significantly affected by the business platform that is Sithengi.
So if you have since 1996 attended the Sithengi Film & TV Market and either participated in a structured Forum or gained significant benefit from its extended programme of conferences, workshops, seminars or networking functions, and this interface led to significant progress for your project or film, then we want to hear from you. By this we mean that you may have participated in the Market in any one or more of the following ways:
-
Entered a project into the Sithengi Co-production Market, whether the Feature Film Co-production Forum (FFCF), the Documentary Co-production Forum (DCF) or the Writers' Forum (WF);
-
Entered your film into the Sithengi Product Market, either by having it in the Product Library or as a Market Screening;
-
Participated in a Master Class, which became more structured last year with the introduction of the Sithengi Talent Campus;
-
Attended a conference, workshop or seminar
-
Or simply by socialising over a drink at a networking function
So no matter what the circumstance, whether by formal or social encounter, we are looking for that story that has yielded results for you at the Sithengi Film & TV Market over the past ten years.
We want to acknowledge you and your success at our 10th Anniversary celebrations this year.
By acknowledging and celebrating your successes and ours we pave the way for another decade of successful business that would ultimately lead to the production and showcasing of world class products that impact the film industry in South Africa, Southern Africa and Africa within the context of the global economy.
