Stakeholder Meetings

Just back from 2 days of stakeholder meetings in Durban / KZN. It always amazes me that I meet new people each and every time I'm in town. WHERE HAVE Y'ALL BEEN? Keeping tabs on who is doing what and where in the province is one of the biggest challenges moving forward.

Having said that, there was a commitment from the Province to take the Film & Media Strategy to government for approval and adoption, and the KZN Department of Arts & Culture, Sport & Recreation also outlined its programme that really allows young film makers to experiment and play.

Also good news from the Durban International Film Festival: DIFF 2009 will open with a Durban-made move (My Secret Sky) and the Short Film Screenings include the work of some 17 local filmmakers.
