Following on the success of the first Africa Shorts workshop and productions, encounters and the SABC are running a 4-day storytelling and production workshop this year. Five filmmakers from Southern and East Africa will be selected upon the basis of their proposals for a short film (of up to 10 minutes duration) on the subject of Secret Lives.
We all have secrets, other lives, hidden lives, we know something we are not meant to know, we do things that we don’t want others to know…
These films aim to be ready for screening at Encounters 2009 and thereafter at other festivals internationally.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS FRIDAY, 15 AUGUST 2008.
Entries should consist of no more than a:
- 1 page synopsis
- 2 page biography of the filmmaker
- DVD copies of previous films
All entries should be sent by email to: Lisa Mini: lisa@encounters.co.za
