Sithengi - The Southern African International Film & Television Market Initiative
Description
About Us
Sithengi, a Section 21 non-profit organisation based in Cape Town, was established in 1995 with the aim to promote the development of and trade in African film and television products; to expose African film and television products to the international arena; and to provide development and training support in the areas of marketing and selling these products to potential buyers. This is accomplished by hosting 2 annual events - the Cape Town World Cinema Festival and the Sithengi Film and TV Market. These events have positioned Sithengi as the premier film and television event organisation in Africa.
Sithengi 's region comprises the Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries of South Africa , Namibia , Swaziland , Lesotho , Angola , Botswana , Malawi , Mauritius , Mozambique , Seychelles , Tanzania , Zambia and Zimbabwe but increasing numbers of broadcasters and producers from the rest of Africa also attend. There are significant delegations from Nigeria and broadcasters from many other African countries.
In addition to African broadcasters and producers from around the continent, delegates include sales agencies from South African, European, and European-based American studio networks and television channels, a number of international buyers and co-producers plus many independent producers, directors and film professionals from throughout the world.
