Film Training and Education in Africa: Challenges and Opportunities
Thursday 3rd March 2011, Imagine Institute, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Practice-oriented film training is changing all around the world, as a result, among other things, of new technologies and globalisation. This symposium would explore the implications of such changes for Africa by bringing together people who are actively involved in creating opportunities to increase filmmaking capacity on the African continent and beyond. In addition to trying to understand the challenges that are involved in these capacity-building endeavors, we will explore the values and aspirations that are driving specific initiatives. A further goal would be to identify the models that are especially constructive and the conditions that help them to succeed.
10am – 4pm, Thursday 3rd March 2011, Imagine Insitute, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
