THE AFDA Annual Film Festival, which showcases 3rd year, 4th year and master’s graduation films, takes place in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg next weekend.
The festival is also a platform to promoteyoung professionals who will soon enter into the mainstream film and television industry. Students are required to conceptualize and produce their graduation films that, while of an artistically high standard, are also commercially viable. At the festival, a panel of industry professionals assess the films and there are also opportunities for audiences to give feedback.
“This year’s festival will be just as exciting as in previous years,” says Garth Holmes, AFDA chairman and co-founder, “Students have really put everything into their projects and I look forward to seeing their work on the big screen in a formal cinema and with a willing audience.”
The Film Festival takes place at the AFDA Durban Campus at 2A Highdale Road, Glen Anil in Glenashley on Saturday 23 November. Tickets are R20 once-off for the festival entry.
