From 16-22 June, creative communications industry leaders from around the globe will gather in Cannes, France for the 60th

Anniversary Cannes Lions. But this year you don’t have to go to France to view the world-class content that will be available at the event.

For the first time, a selection of Cannes Lions content will be streamed live across the globe through Lions Live - a partnership between Cannes Lions, global media agency network Mindshare, and YouTube.

The aim is to spread the reach of the event across the globe. Cannes Lion’s goal is to “inspire creativity” by being the “world’s greatest celebration of creative communications in all its forms.” The event brings together members of the creative industry to learn from each other and to celebrate the work changing the communications landscape.

This year, Lions Live will stream one live seminar session per day on the Cannes Lions YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/canneslions for the duration of the Festival, with sessions selected via an open vote by the public. Each streamed session will then be accessible on-demand for a period of two weeks following the Festival. Voting for the sessions closed in May.

Philip Thomas, CEO, Lions Festivals, says, “Every year Cannes Lions brings global speakers to its stage and showcases outstanding content that is thought provoking, inspirational and forward-thinking. We’re excited to be taking this live, offering a taste of the Cannes experience to those that are unable to make it to the South of France.”

Some of the globally renowned speakers that will take to the stage at this year’s Festival include Jenson Button, Lou Reed, Sean Combs, Annie Leibovitz and Jack Black. While industry legends will include Lee Clow, Global Director of Media Arts, TBWA\Worldwide, Chairman, TBWA\Media

Arts Lab; Nick Law, Global Chief Creative Officer, R/GA; Maurice Lévy, Chairman, CEO, Publicis Groupe; Andrew Robertson, President, Chief Executive Officer, BBDO Worldwide; Sir Martin Sorrell, Chief Executive, WPP; and James Hilton, Co-Founder, Chief Creative Officer, AKQA.

Nick Emery, CEO, Mindshare, says, “We believe that we work in the most exciting industry in the world and we are delighted to be able to share some of the reason why with the wider marketing world. We believe that marketing has to be fundamentally adaptive to achieve the best results and Lions Live is an experience that adapts, where the viewer’s decide the content.”

About Lions Live Matt Brittin, VP Google, Northern and Central Europe says, “Cannes Lions attracts the world’s best creatives to share the latest and boldest ideas. As YouTube is the home of so much creativity on the web, it’s incredibly exciting that amateur and professional creatives from around the world can tune in to the livestream to be part of this premiere festival of creativity.”

Africa at Cannes LionsAs the most prestigious international

annual advertising and communications awards, over 34,300 entries are showcased and judged at the Cannes Lions, including work from the African continent. Winning companies receive the highly coveted Lion trophy, a global benchmark of creative excellence, for Film, Print, Outdoor, Interactive, Radio, Design, Promo & Activation, Film Craft, Mobile, Branded Content & Entertainment and Integrated advertising, as well as the best Media, Direct, PR, Titanium and Creative Effectiveness ideas.

The Festival is a global meeting place for advertisers, advertising and communication professionals, attracting more than 11,000 delegates from 95 countries. But there are also Cannes-related events that happen around the globe. For those who want to participate in the festival on the African continent, this year, on 5 September, Cannes Lions Rewind 2013, an event to share the information learned at Cannes Lions, will be held in Nigeria.

Rain on the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival didn’t put a damper on the spirits of the attendees, particularly those who

had travelled from the African continent to be part of the event in Cannes, France from the 15-26 May.

Durban’s Monica Rorvick was attending the festival for the first time. She reportedly said of the opening ceremony, “I was so happy to get my ticket and told myself that even if it rains harder, I’ll be there.” The festival opened during heavy rain with a screening of ‘The Great Gatsby’ starring Leonardo DeCaprio. Monica said it has “great direction, phenomenal acting, script and camera work.”

This year’s festival opened with some of the world’s biggest stars in attendance. Leonardo DeCaprio was on the red carpet along with co-star Amitabh Bachchan, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan. One of the world’s most accomplished directors, Steven Spielberg, served as jury president at this year’s Cannes, adding to the star-power of the event. His appearance at Cannes is rare, and he has never had a movie in competition, though his films ‘E.T.’ and ‘Sugarland Express’ screened there.

According to the South African National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), the primary host of the South African presence in Cannes, the South African Pavilion was “abuzz” with meetings that took place from early morning till late in the afternoon on

the first day of the festival. These meetings were part of efforts to secure deals for South African projects and to promote opportunities to bring investments into the

country. Later in the festival the Cape Town and Winelands International Film Festival’s launch of the Cape Town FilmMart took place at the South African Pavilion.

Following a South African Film Showcase, the festival was set to close with the South African-set crime drama, out of competition, ‘Zulu’. ‘Zulu’ was shot in and around Cape Town and is described by organisers as having “elements of political film noir and social study”.

The 15th annual Encounters South African International Documentary Festival is set to run 6-16 June in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The event will screen top documentaries from across the world, including two 2013 Oscar nominees (‘The Gatekeepers’ and ‘How to Survive a Plague’), winners from Berlin (‘Marina Abromovitch: The Artist is Present’ and ‘In Heaven Underground’), DOK Leipzig (‘Columbianos’), and Sundance (‘Queen of Versailles and The House I Live In’).

“Documentaries broaden our experience of the world, showing us places few of us would otherwise see,” says Festival Director Lesedi Oluko Moche, pointing to a varied line-up that takes you from the biggest home in America (‘Queen of Versailles’)

and the world’s richest apartment building (‘Park Avenue’) to one of Jordan’s poorest villages (‘Rafea: Solar Mamas’).

This year’s line-up also shines a spotlight on some of the world’s most debated issues, including poverty, the war on drugs, inter-cultural adoption,HIV/AIDS, and Israel/Palestine.

But Encounters isn’t just about looking outwards: there are 13 documentaries that focus on Africa. ‘Comrade Presidente’ profiles Mozambican president Samora Machel, while ‘No Harm Done’, which won Best Documentary at FESPACO, tells the story of agnostic Tunisian documentary filmmaker Nadia el Fani’s battles against cancer and a radical Islamist hate campaign. Also, straight from Hot Docs, Riaan Hendricks’ ‘The Devil’s Lair’ will have its African premiere as the opening night film at Encounters. It’s a jarring story of fatherhood, drug dealers and assassinations on the Cape Flats. Aryan Kaganof’s ‘An Inconsolable Memory’ follows the story of the Eoan Group from the vibrant era of Cape Town’s District Six to present day. Dylan Valley’s ‘Incarcerated Knowledge’

Encounters – Experience the World

follows a reformed gangster from his release from Pollsmoor as he tries to turn his life around.

Shannon Walsh and Arya Lalloo’s ‘Jeppe on a Friday’ is part Jozi travelogue, part urban allegory. Shelley Barry’s ‘Mr. Shakes – The Passion to Live’ follows the Port Elizabeth disco king; and Tamarin Kaplan and Marla Altschuler’s award-winning ‘The White Picket Fence Project’ is a coming-of-age documentary about two young men: one in post-war Kosovo, the other in Gugulethu.

“We’re incredibly excited about this year’s streamlined lineup,” says Lesedi, “every year, most of the screenings sell-out, so we recommend booking early.”

South African Delegation to Attend World Renowned Locations Show

Film commissions from across the globe will have the chance to showcase their territories to key industry players at this year’s

AFCI (Association of Film Commissioners International) Locations Show in Los Angeles. African nations will be there. The Cape Film Commission (CFC) together with The National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) and The Durban Film Office (DFO) will represent South Africa at AFCI, scheduled to take place at the Los Angeles Convention Centre in the United States from 27-29 of June.

The AFCI Locations Show displays incentives, production locations, and business and support services to hundreds of global production VIPs. Independent filmmakers, industry veterans, and media and film commissions all attend. As the only commission in South Africa registered as a member of the AFCI, the Cape Film Commission will attend the AFCI Board meeting and interact with their other 350 partner commissions on matters relating to the film industry. Cape Film Commission CEO, Denis Lillie, a professional member

of the AFCI, says this is one of the most important opportunities of the year for South Africa to showcase the locations and services it has to offer. According to Denis, the CFC is currently in discussions with the South African Consulate to bring six major Hollywood studios to Cape Town in the near future.

This is the 11th year South Africa is taking part in the AFCI Locations Show, with the aim of promoting and marketing the country as a filming destination of choice. The delegation will have the opportunity to meet film industry professionals driving global production decisions. The changing landscape of global film financing is another topic that will be discussed, a subject that attracts attention from developing countries whose film industries are seeking to attract projects. This year’s show will not only feature the traditional locations show expo, but will also mentoring workshops, free conference sessions, and panel discussions with industry legends.

AFCI, with a worldwide network of more than 300 commissions from 30 countries, is the official professional organization for film commissioners who assist film, television and video production throughout the world.

The first-ever national study of South Africa’s film industry based on verifiable information has shown that in 2012 the industry

contributed R3.5 billion to the national economy.

The study, commissioned by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), and conducted by Deloitte, found that the industry ‘more than pays for itself’ with payments to the South African Revenue Services (SARS) of more than R670 million, a figure R420 million more than the estimated R250 million Film and Television Incentive paid by the Department of Trade and Industry in 2012.

“We are emboldened by the fact that the study vindicates the view we have always held that; the local film industry as part of the broader creative industries is a major driver of economic growth, job creation and the building of sustainable livelihoods,” says Minister of Arts and Culture, Paul Mashatile.

The industry created a total of 25,000 full-time equivalent jobs in 2012, and showed a multiplier of 2.89. That means that for every R1 spent in the film industry, an additional R1.89 is generated in the industries that service the industry and ancillary industries. “The multiplier of 2.89 places the local film industry at ‘mid-range’ when compared to the economic contributions of 99 other industries within the country,” said Judy Prins Leader of Deloitte Sport, Media & Entertainment at Deloitte.

“For the first time we are able to articulate what returns there are for government’s investment in the film sector. The data collected with this research will allow us to focus our strategies on the efforts most likely to bear fruit for the South African economy. Not only do we now have data to make informed investment decisions but we are also encouraged that the efforts put into the sector are now paying off,” said Zama Mkosi, NFVF CEO.

Also of significance, the film industry has grown 14% per annum over the past 5 years.

“We know the film sector plays a vital role in social cohesion. Now we also know

that with ongoing and additional support - from government and private investors - the film sector can continue to contribute to government’s goals of job creation and poverty alleviation,” said Mkosi.

A value chain analysis was also done as part of the study of the South African film industry, which revealed key trends and issues within the industry. Referring to this, Mkosi said that, “despite the significant investment government has made into the film industry through the DTI incentive, producers and film-makers still face challenges in securing equitable partnerships with foreign film producers. The South African film incentives rank amongst the least competitive film incentives in the world to encourage foreign film-makers to film in South Africa, coming 24th in the rankings behind countries like New Zealand, Mexico and Germany.”

“Despite major challenges in the value chain, the industry has shown the commitment and ability to adapt, survive and grow. The industry has grown 84% in the past five years and there is no doubt that it will continue to be an active industry in the future,” concludes Prins.

GC_Callsheet_1/3_Advert.indd 1 2013/05/14 2:24 PM

Laurence Hamburger, previously directing through Egg, has joined with Tess Van Zyl, producer of local and international commercials for the last

15 years, to form a new South African-based international film company, called goodcop.

goodcop will be an exclusive home for South African filmmakers of international relevance, producing unique content for a variety of platforms and markets across the globe.

On the commercials roster Laurence joined up with Daniel Levi from Independent in the UK. Both directors have won numerous international and local awards in commercials. Joining them is a new entrant to the world of commercials, Michael MacGarry. Michael is a fine artist and filmmaker with Stevenson Gallery and Standard Bank Young Artist Award winner (2010). MacGarry just wrapped shooting with goodcop on his fourth short film, ‘As above, So Below’, a re-imagining of Darwin’s landing at the Cape, another in his series of sci-fi influenced histories on the nature of conflict in human social evolution. Michael teamed up with Laurence to shoot a successful Toyota Yaris spot for Draft FCB, Johannesburg, and they followed up their collaboration with two beautiful documentary spots for DSTV’s CSI. This involved working with some of the cream of SA’s filmmaking talent - including some great guest spots from Darryl Roodt, Hlubi Mboya, and Zakes Mda. They also just finished production on two spots each for The Encounters Film Festival, a project in which a series of six films were written and made by three different directors. One of whom is Oliver Hermanus, guesting with

goodcop “Serves You Right”

the company as he explores short form work. The spots are short abstract meditations on the notion of ‘a filmmaker’s encounter’, and were created by goodcop as both agency and production house.

The company also recently signed ex-Creative Director, Lyall Coburn, previously at 180 Amsterdam, whose unique, self-shot 16mm documentary style resulted in some very well received work for Fender Guitars in the USA.

While establishing itself primarily in TV Commercials, the company is also developing a variety of long and short-form TV projects, with particular emphasis on documentary virals and web films. This includes Mikhael Subotzky’s four-channel film installation,

‘Moses and Griffiths’, made as part of his Standard Bank Young Artist Award (2012).

The film has been touring countrywide in South Africa, including 2012 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, Iziko National Gallery and the Standard Bank Gallery.

One of the key aims of goodcop has been to create new ways to collaborate and pool resources and skills in the interface between creative and production.

As Tess puts it, “It’s about looking back at the fundamentals of documentary and alternative filmmaking - small collectives, common visions, and problem solving teams - to find ways to creatively and financially produce high-end work.”

For Laurence it’s all about ‘the wetware’. “Ultimately we’re selling good thinking. You come to us because we have the personnel with the strong filmmaking ideas. It’s so easy now for anyone to make a half-decent image or edit. Everyone’s got the same cameras, everyone hires the same DOPs, editors etc. and the work can have a tendency to be generic. We want to offer an alternative that is both unique, and comes with great skill.”

themed movies for the world market. His debut feature, Ninah’s Dowry, was the recipient of the Global Film Initiative’s Spring 2010 production grant.

The cover up by high ranking political officials of the murder of two powerful mining businessmen triggers the saga. Lucy has been kidnapped and has information that brings the story full circle

– she is the daughter of one of the murdered men and is determined to exact revenge. In the four years since Dumisa’s entry into the film industry she has produced high-end television productions such as, All Access Mzanzi on DSTV. Taute has produced over 20 short films and holds a degree in Motion Picture Medium.

WHIPLASH South AfricaProducer: Jacky LourensDirector: Meg Rickards‘Adapted from Tracey Farren’s novel, Whiplash tells the story of wry, sassy Cape Town prostitute, Tess, who falls pregnant. When she abandons her daily ritual of popping pills, awful pictures from her past ambush her mind. But Tess does not allow herself to collapse. Instead, she learns – perhaps because of the

baby in her belly – to connect with the people around her. The Congolese refugee next door treats her like a daughter. An impotent client shows her his heart. Tess finds sanctuary among strong women in a belly dance studio, and discovers she can dance up a storm. With new courage she tracks down her childhood friend, Dumi, who helps her to face the truth of her past. Jacky Lourens has 22 years production experience and was series producer for the SABC documentary, Unauthorised. Meg Rickards has written and directed short films and for television, and her miniseries and tele-feature Land of Thirst received international distribution. Singer Angelique Kidjo is attached to the project.

There are many reasons why the world’s top agencies and production companies keep bringing their commercials to

shoot in Africa. The top 7 are:

1. VALUE FOR MONEYSouth Africa has the largest commercials

industry on the continent. At the time of writing the South African exchange rate was R9 to the dollar, nearly R12 to the euro and just over R14 to the pound.

AFS Productions’ Brin Kushner adds, “With the weak rand, it now makes even more financial sense for foreign productions to shoot in South Africa.”

But the country has learnt not to rely on the exchange rate. As Moonlighting’s Beccy Kellond says, “South Africa has managed to keep our costs relatively low. We have had a few projects that have shot only in studio with a mix of local and international talent and it has still been more cost-effective than shooting at home.”

2. TRUST“South Africa has one of the best

film infrastructures in the world, with a superlative reputation for quality and innovation,” says Bang Bang Films’ Anna Mira D’Ercole. “For many years it has been an amazing destination for filmmakers and it has made sure that the experience gained has filtered down to all levels of the industry. Testament to this is the repeat

clients that come here year after year to make their films.”

“Generally, our clients feel safe shooting here,” says Beccy. “They may get a cheaper quote somewhere else in the world but they know that no matter how complex or challenging the shoot, they will be able to do it here in South Africa. Quite a lot of our clients have come back to shoot three or four times within the season.”

3. LEGENDARY CREWS“Our crew are world-class,” says Brin.

“It gives our clients a sense of safety knowing their shoot is being handled by professionals.”

Anna agrees. “We have a thriving local industry that is based on the classic UK

film ethic combined with the now legendary South African attitude of ‘lets make a plan’ - a positive, often naive attitude that anything is possible. It combines the British film disciple with a more raw and often inventive manner of tackling problems.”

4. DIVERSE LOCATIONS“One of our unique selling points still

lies in the great variety of locations which can stand in for many places elsewhere in the world, all in close proximity to the city,” says Orange Films’ Vivian Esterhuyse.

For example, Anna says South Africa has recently doubled for New York City, Italian countryside, a quaint Mediterranean village square, generic, modern European cities, Brazilian and Caribbean beaches, and English homes.

“Because of the geographic layout of a city like Cape Town, it’s not uncommon that in one day a film crew can shoot four diverse locations - like a beach, mountain, desert, farmlands, a New York loft apartment or any exterior or interior genre of home your heart desires,” says Anna.

5. WEATHER“The weather in South Africa is always

going to be a draw-card during the Northern winter months,” says Anna, referring to South Africa’s 14 hours of sunlight during the Northern Hemisphere winter, when parts of Europe are 14-below.

6. GEAR“The range of accessible and current

equipment is comparable with all other international film hubs,” says Vivian. Whatever your favorite camera or lighting set up is, you’ll be able to find it in South Africa.

7. MIX BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE“Both work and play become a unique ex-

perience for foreign film crews and clients,” says Anna. “The friendly people of South Africa are very approachable and open to strangers and foreign cultures. Then there is always the natural beauty of the country that is inviting and so seductive for the stranger. The first world infrastructure of the country, with its top-notch shops and restaurants, make working in South Africa a pure delight.”

She adds that Cape Town’s hospitality sector has really improved over the last five years.

Africa has an impressive track record when it comes to commercials, and in 2013 the industry continues to build on that award-winning success.

A growing industry trend is a move towards collaborating as opposed to merely servicing.

Alison Ellard of Wink Films says, “I have been finding that there is a need for our skills to extend beyond those of just a facilitator. We have done jobs where we have filled the role of producer, and just a director has been sent to South Africa. These jobs have also been post-produced in South Africa, which for a service company is fairly unusual.”

Another trend is a move towards African directors working on international com-mercials. “I truly believe our best unique selling point is the availability of world-class directors in our desirable environments,”

says Your Girlfriend’s Linda Bogle. “We should be selling our talent more on an international level; we have directors who can get the best out of the locations, cast and crew to deliver a world-class product.” Velocity Films’ Peter Carr agrees. “There is an increasing trend towards using our local directors. We expect this to increase, not only because foreign clients and agencies are under budgetary pressure but also be-cause we’re continuously producing strong director talent. We’re finding that once clients make that first leap of faith, they are returning again and again.”

There is also a trend towards in-camera special effects. “We’re seeing more and more director’s treatments requiring most or all special effects in-camera, rather than relying too much on post-production,” says Vivian. “The end result is a visually more believable and richer film, but this does go hand in hand with all kinds of challenging stunts rigs, manufactured props, elabo-rate prosthetics and specialised make-up. This has seen us suspending slack-liners between tall city buildings; dressing Rhodes Memorial as a giant Viking temple; and creating a massive abstract expressionist

painting by a dozen babies covered in paint. Thankfully more often than not all that hard work is palpable in the final films.”

There are also more jobs being done across the African continent. Peter says, “With clients now producing more generic commercials that need to flight across many countries and with the growth of products into African countries, we’re shooting a lot more common-script commercials. We have such a diversity of cultures in South Africa that is appealing to clients with brands selling on the continent and across the world who want to produce everything in one place. With our strong infrastructures and close proximity to African countries, we’re finding ourselves shooting a lot more for the African continent. Often we’ll take a small unit over to the respective country in Africa and then shoot the bulk of the commercial in South Africa, where we need studios and/or heavier equipment and spe-cialized crews and resources. The traveling unit is required if and when we need to include authentic demographics. Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Angola and Mozambique are all fast-growing markets and bringing in a lot more work for us.”

Diverse, skilled, affordable – these are unique selling points of Africa’s talent pool – particularly South Africa’s. “Our talent pool just keeps getting better each year,” says Brin. “The caliber of our local talent has really impressed our clients. We have produced dialogue-driven commercials, using local talent, that required our actors to speak US dialogue, Spanish, German and even Farsi!” Anna agrees. “The model and actor bank here is so diverse; almost all cultures of the world are represented in this rainbow nation that makes up South Africa.

This bank of professional actors and models have now gained extensive international and local experience to give the foreign film-makers a vast range of performances and looks that almost always surprise those that are new to film making in SA. It often gets difficult to select a model or actor from the 10-finalist shortlist because they are usually so good and so spot on for the roles.” The price point for South African talent is also a selling point. “We’ve been able to offer really effective, competitively priced talent packages this year,” says Beccy.

Locations Everything You Need

When it comes to locations, Africa has it all.

The continent has doubled as India, Ireland,

Mexico, Miami, and Morocco recently. Some locations, like Cape Town, South Africa, are regular doubles for Provence in France, the English countryside, and American and British homes.

Julia Finnis-Bedford , Founder &

Managing Director of Amazing Spaces says, “We have a world in one city. Travel to Atlantis’ dunes and you’ve got a desert, go to Constantia and you’ve an English house. Other suburbs and you have American bungalows. We really do have everything - we have French vineyards. We just have everything here it really is amazing.”

The continent boasts a wide range of architectural styles, from the 50s, 70s, to

the ultra-modern. “We have those traditional Constantia

houses that look English, those always work well, and then the bungalow style houses, single story with no fences in the front, those are really hard to find. Those are always popular,”” says Finnis-Bedford.

Whatever location you’re looking for chances are you’ll find it in Africa.

African photography is featured at international awards shows every year, which is not surprising considering the beauty and

Africa’s

1988, was the Chairperson of the South African Association of Stills Producers (SAASP) for six years, and has sat on the Executive Committee of SAASP for nine years.Q: Why is Africa, and specifically South Africa, an ideal location for shooting stills? A: There are few countries in the world that offer such contrasts in location diversity within such close proximity to each other. From white desert sand dunes to rolling vineyards, to white beaches, to a magnificent choice of architecture, Cape Town and South Africa in general has it

all. One needs to couple this with the technology available in the country. South Africa can supply close to all equipment, lighting and technical demands made by clients. We of course should not forget that this is all available at extremely favourable rates due to the exchange rate.

Q: What are some of the unique or high-profile stills shoots that have been shot in Africa? A: Across the board, South Africa has played host to every major fashion player/brand in the world, as well as close to every automotive brand. From Boss to Audi, from Top Shop to BMW, from Louis Vuitton to Lamborghini and so it goes on.

Q: What would you tell companies that are wondering what the skill level is in the industry in Africa? A: Not only are the skills levels in every department concerning skills equal to those overseas, but there is the added bonus of good South African energy and work ethic which makes our freelance contractors a valuable addition to any shoot. From set-builders, to lighting technicians, from Production managers to Digital assistants, South Africa has a very high level of skills to offer.

Q: Has your company ever worked on a stills campaign that was part of a wider campaign that included commercials? Is this a growing or continuing trend?A: There is certainly a growing trend for Stills to piggy-back on commercials being shot in the country, and vice-versa. This is largely brought on by the budget constraints our clients are facing, and they look for as much cross-over as possible.

Barbara MinishiBarbara Minishi is a leading fashion photographer in Kenya. Her recent work, in which she photographed a wide range of women all wearing the same red dress as a symbol of unity following post-election violence in Kenya, was featured in ‘The New African Photography’ series on Al Jazeera English.

Q: Why is Africa, and specifically Kenya, a great location for shooting stills? A: Africa is a great for shooting stills as each country has a unique feel to it. Nonetheless, as much as the ‘safari’ type image is the obvious norm, i would suggest utilizing more of the urban and rural areas which each have a very dynamic unique character

to them.

Q: What are some of the unique or high-profile stills shoots that you have shot?A: Hmmm, I consider each shoot high-profile whether the client is local or international. I am not only a professional photographer but also work as a film art director, and I have worked within this capacity on a

feature film ‘Nairobi Half Life’, on the short film ‘All That Way for Love’, as Art Dept Assistant on ‘Kapringen’, and Art Director for the Diamonds video by German Soul Star Y’akoto. As a photographer who often has to art direct most of my work, venturing into film production design was a natural progression. I have always loved film and how fashion photography borrows heavily from it.

Thanks to ever-present confidentiality clauses, no one is ever allowed to officially talk about what’s in production in Africa, so this monthly

section is an unofficial overview of the industry’s worst-kept secrets.

First, we have an update on projects in the pipeline in May.

Film Afrika shot ‘Hector and The Search for Happiness,’ which starred Simon Pegg (‘Hot Fuzz’, ‘Shaun of the Dead’) as a psychiatrist searching the globe for the secret to happiness. Peter Chelsom (‘Shall We Dance’, ‘Serendipity’) directed, while IMDB lists Rosamunde Pike (‘Pride & Prejudice’), Stellan Skarsgard (‘Good Will Hunting’), Jean Reno (‘The Professional’), Toni Collette (‘United States of Tara’), and Christopher Plummer (‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’) as co-stars. It is based on Francois Lelord’s book, ‘Hector and The Search for Happiness’, and also shot in Canada, Britain, and China, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Zaheer Goodman-Bhyat of Light and Dark Films produced ‘Konfetti’, based on Louw Venter’s theatre show ‘The Best Man’s Speech.’ It has been described as “’The Hangover’ meets ‘The Wedding Crasher.’” Expect appearances from Casper de Vries and Casey B. Dolan, among others.

‘Black Sails,’ ‘Kite’, ‘Salvation’, ‘The Price of Sugar’ and ‘A Good Lie’ all wrapped ahead of winter’s arrival. So after a busy May, June seems relatively quiet, with just two

June 2013

international jobs doing the gossip circuit. Film Afrika goes into production in June

in Johannesburg on navy seal-themed ‘Seal Team 8’, while Moonlighting Films will be in production at Sun City on ‘Blended,’ a romantic comedy that reunites ‘50 First Dates’ and ‘The Wedding Singer’ stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. Deadline says Frank Coraci (‘Here Comes the Boom’, ‘The Waterboy’, ‘The Wedding Singer’) will direct and that Disney Channel star Bella Thorne (‘Shake It Up’) also features.

There are more projects on the horizon. ‘District 9’ and ‘Elysium’ director Neill

Blomkamp is prepping ‘Chappie’, a robot science fiction comedy which is expected to shoot in Johannesburg. Sharlto Copley stars alongside Die Antwoord’s Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$er.

Chris Roland and ZenHQ Films are prepping ‘The King’, a new comedy about a down-and-out African American (Tracy Morgan) who inherits an African kingdom, which a ruthless Texas businessman (John Cusack) wants to exploit.

Spier Films and Shekinah Tribe are prepping ‘Riding with Sugar,’ to be directed by Sunu Gonera (‘Pride’). The film follows a Zimbabwean refugee in Cape Town on a quest for BMX glory. John Boyega (‘Half of a Yellow Sun’, ‘Attack The Block’), Clare Bowen (‘Nashville’, ‘Dead Man’s Burden’), and Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in ‘Harry Potter’) are attached.

In the United Nations’ scheme of geographic regions, twenty territories constitute Eastern Africa. Three countries in this region - Kenya,

Tanzania and Uganda – are film industry standouts. These countries offer filmmakers a wide variety of locations and features for shooting films. From volcanoes to vast desert, from cities to ocean views, from wildlife reserves to rain forests, East Africa has it all. Its history is equally interesting. East Africa may be the origin of modern humans. With this in mind it’s understandable that East Africa is a hybrid of African tribes, East Indians, Arabs and Caucasians. Consequently many looks and accents are available within the local acting community. However, talent or a cast with substantial film experience, is limited and requires more coaching or directing than in other more established markets. Nairobi

is the principal city from which to base film production in Kenya and also frequently serves as a hub for all filming across East Africa.

What’s Happening NowZanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF) is East Africa’s largest film, music, and arts festival. It takes place from 29 June to 7 July. The festival is held in Stone Town (Mji Mkongwe) in Zanzibar. Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrating cultural resilience and film art.

REGIONAL SPOTLIGHT

EAST AFRICAThe Horn of Africa and Beyond

If you want to see the ‘big five’ in one location, the Masai Mara in Kenya is the place to be. During the dry season from July to October the wildlife spectacle is unparalleled. Nowhere else can you watch the annual migration of over a million wildebeest.

Gorilla Tracking in the Virunga Mountains, Uganda, Rwanda, DRC

About 300 mountain gorillas inhabit an extinct volcanic region called the Virunga Range along the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and the DRC in East Africa. The time you are allowed to spend observing the gorillas is limited, so shooting must be planned accordingly.

Getting to East Africa by AirJomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, is the largest airport in East and Central Africa. The airport is a major transit hub for passengers flying to East Africa’s natural attractions and other smaller cities in East and Central Africa. It is situated 20 km from Nairobi’s Central Business District. The airport directly serves international passengers from Europe and Asia.

ClimateRather unusual of equatorial regions, East Africa is surprisingly cool and dry for its latitude. However, there are regional variations. Tanzania’s climate is tropical and coastal areas are hot and humid. Uganda’s equatorial climate provides plenty of sunshine, moderated by the relatively high altitude of much of the country. Kenya sits on the equator so sunrise and sunset do not shift.

SA Production Designer

The ANIMATION SCHOOL WINS at The New York Festivals 2013

Wins

South Africa’s Darryl Hammer, who has worked on a number of high-profile films including ‘Ali’ starring Will Smith and Spier Films’ ‘Black

Butterflies’ and ‘The Price of Sugar’ has received a BAFTA Television Craft Award for Best Production Design in honour of her work on ‘The Girl’.

The BBC Drama, which stars Sienna Miller and Toby Jones, focuses on Alfred Hitchcock’s turbulent relationship with actress Tippi Hedren who stars in one of his most notable works –‘The Birds’. When Tippi rejects Hitchcock’s advances, he puts her through a sadistic five days’ filming where she is attacked by real birds. “We used real birds when filming which is] challenging because birds are still wild animals so they could potentially cause a lot of harm, so the netting off of the set was real.”

Michael Auret of Spier Films said, “We are so proud to be working with some of the industry’s greatest talent. Darryl is an exceptionally creative and effective production designer, with a particular flair for period design, and we are looking forward both to working with her on future productions, and helping her pass on her expertise to younger people in the industry.”

The New York Festivals - World’s Best TV and Films- 2013 have awarded Students of The Animation School a Gold World

Medal, a Bronze World Medal, and a Finalist Certificate, recognizing their entries as the world’s best in the Student Films category and the Short Film Productions category.

The Winners are: 2013 Gold World Medal: “DRAWN” 2013 Bronze World Medal: “ENDLESS” 2013 Finalist Certificate: “WITCH” The competition honours content in

all lengths and forms and celebrates the exceptional and innovative programs being created on all continents. Dedicated to both the Television and Film industries, the Grand Jury is made up of over 200 directors, producers, journalists, writers, actors, creative directors, art directors, filmmakers, composers and programming executives who are award-winners themselves. They are actively involved in what is being made today around the globe.

Adds More Stars to 3D Khumba

South Africa based Triggerfish Animation Studios, the company behind the worldwide 3D Animated hit Adventures in Zambezia (the

highest grossing South African film in last 30 years), announced that they have added the voice of Steve Buscemi to join Laurence Fishburne, AnnaSophia Robb, Jake T. Austin, Loretta Devine, Catherine Tate, Richard E. Grant and Liam Neeson, in their new 3D Animated feature ‘Khumba’.

Additionally, Anika Noni Rose, the voice of “Princess Tiana” in Disney’s $250 million dollar-grossing film ‘The Princess and the Frog’, joins the team as Lungisa, Khumba’s mother and wife to Fishburne’s character, Seko. Anika, a Tony Award winner, is also known for her starring work in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Dreamgirls, the HBO series The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency and numerous other film and television projects.

Golden Globe and SAG Award-winner Steve plays the colorful vagabond character “Skalk” in ‘Khumba’ and holds the lead in HBO’s critically-acclaimed series ‘Boardwalk Empire’. His work has appeared in numerous films, including ‘Fargo’, ‘The Big Lebowski’, ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and ‘Trees Lounge’, which marked his full-length feature film directorial debut. He has provided the voices for characters in many animated features including Pixar’s ‘Monsters, Inc.’, Paramount Pictures’ ‘Charlotte’s Web’ as the voice of “Templeton” the rat, Sony Pictures’ Oscar nominated animated film ‘Monster House’, and Columbia Pictures’ ‘Hotel Transylvania’ as the voice of “Wayne.” Steve will next be heard reprising his role as the voice of Randall Boggs in Pixar’s Monsters University the much anticipated sequel to ‘Monsters, Inc.’.

Edward Noeltner, CMG head stated, “With his trademark voice, Steve Buscemi took the character of Skalk in a new and exciting direction. Anika Noni Rose as Khumba’s mother brought a wonderful sense of warmth and tenderness to her character of Lungisa. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have them both onboard to complete the voice cast for Khumba.”

Stuart Forrest, CEO of Triggerfish

Animation, adds “We are continuously impressed with the amount of gifted actors that our film has attracted. Buscemi brings a unique skill set to ‘Khumba’ and the voice work he’s recorded gives us a great deal of humor in the film. Anika Noni Rose likewise brings alive her character in a way that not many could.”

“Steve Buscemi was the original

reference when we were first developing the character, so to have him actually voice the part is just incredible,” says writer and director, Silverston. “Anika Noni Rose joins fellow Princess and the Frog actress, Jen Cody who voices one of the other zebras and it’s fantastic to have both actresses in the same herd, so to speak,” says co-writer, Delle Donne.
