SABC commits to film, TV festival
At the opening event for the Bafundi Film and TV Festival on the weekend, Sabelo Silinga, executive manager of SABC Content Enterprises, announced that the SABC is committed to the Bafundi Film and TV Festival for the long haul.
The Bafundi Film and TV Festival 2008 – the first national student film and TV festival – sees 71 delegates from 15 film training institutions countrywide gathering in the Wits Downstairs Theatre for the next two days to view each other's work and take advantage of the professional networking opportunities offered by the festival.
Festival organiser Melanie Keartland, from Wits Theatres, is delighted that the SABC has seen fit to make a long term commitment to the festival. She says that the festival represents an important and much needed platform for student work, which will hopefully cater for the entire SADC region in the not too distant future.
