Big Fish film school invites students to register
South African film school Big Fish spread its wings to Cape Town earlier this year to develop film talent in the mother city. Now, in a move to further bolster the industry, the school is offering a 15% discount on its two-year national certificate course in Johannesburg and Cape Town if they sign up before 1 February 2012.
"We are committed to developing young filmmakers, including those previously disadvantaged students for whom we obtain full bursaries and to contribute towards the skills development in South Africa. Both the expansion to Cape Town and our discounted paying courses mark a step in the right direction for us and for South Africa's aspirant filmmakers," says Big Fish CEO, Dr Melanie Chait.
High employment rate
Big Fish has won several awards over the years, including a Golden Panda award in China for Best Documentary Cinematography for 'Soul Train' and this year won Best Short Documentary prize at the prestigious Oberhausen Film Festival for 'Atrophy'. BigFish also opened the 'Africa in the Picture' Festival in Amsterdam in September this year.
The film school has achieved an 85% employment rate for former students, while the remaining 15% work on their own productions or through Little Pond Production Trust, a production company established by Big Fish for former students.
