kers to take part in this upcoming festival!
The ARTS ALIVE STUDENT FILM FESTIVAL is an annual event, which will showcase the best in International and South African Student Films. The festival features screenings, exhibitions, workshops and will also host the YOUNG FILMMAKERS AWARDS.
The film industry has seen a huge growth in the last couple of years with accolades such as this year’s Oscar Award Winning Foreign Film TSOTSI, and the Student Oscar Award Winning Foreign Film ELALINI, not to mention the success of the many other films that have set the standard for this influential industry.
This year we are very proud to announce that we will be screening the Oscar ward wining film ELALINI, a South African short film that was produced by the South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance.
At this years event there will also be a CAREERS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY EXHIBITION, where we will be showcasing 12 career options in the industry from producing to musical theatre performance. Because of the tremendous growth in the entertainment industry we feel that it is important that more students become aware of the different careers that there are to offer.
This event is perfect for anybody who is curious about the entertainment industry and would like to receive more information about career decisions. The festival will also be extremely exciting, as we will be screening award-winning films from all over the globe.
This year the festival will be held at the Baseline, in Newtown, from the 14-16 September 2006.
The competition is open to high school students who want to make films and the winner of the competition will be receiving a full bursary to study at the acclaimed South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance. The award ceremony is happening on the evening of the 16th of September.
