Through ongoing collaboration with other industry organisations, skills shortages will be addressed and ways to develop, enhance, address transformation and promote the skills base of the film, TV, animation and all emerging forms of broadcast media will be identified.
Training providers will now have active representation on the South African Screen Federation and will be in a very strong position to lobby government and affiliated organisations, collaborate with the independent sector as well as broadcasters and have significant input in the development of the industry, through a collective and unified voice.
Avril Joffee (CAJ) has been elected as treasurer, with Nicola Rauch (SASWA) and Nikki Tilley (FTU Monash) to co-chair the organisation during its first term.
The MPTA will be holding a full day's brainstorming session during the Durban Film Festival on Friday 23 June 2006 and encourages all interested parties to attend.
