Mayenzeke Baza, Director of International Relations at ATFT says, "By participating in past international markets, we have been able to showcase the inspiring creativity, energy and passion of South African film that exists within our country. Exposing independent filmmakers to a global market helps nurture and refine their art and talent in a way that contributes to the sustainability of the SA film and TV industry."
Participating in such platforms is important in affirming South Africa's position as one of the world's top film and TV destinations. Filmmakers and producers are able to test their projects, in a real market, thus being informed on what works and what doesn't work when it comes to packaging a product for the global market.
