The Gauteng Department of Economic Development in association with the Gauteng Film Commission will be hosting the 2007 Gauteng Film Indaba at The Forum, Bryanston on the
6th of November 2007. The Indaba will bring together industry players from the audio-visual industries to investigate ways of fully exploiting Gauteng as a prime film destination and production centre.
At the Indaba, the Gauteng Film Commission will present the first phase findings of ‘Project Gaullywood’ – the most comprehensive sector review carried out in Gauteng to date.
A number of panel discussions facilitated by key industry role-players will assess the potential for industry growth. Plenary discussion topics will include:
- ‘Making the Case: The role of research and data management in raising the economic profile of the sector’
- ‘Selling a holistic package: Location Marketing and building a strong Gauteng film brand’
- ‘Incentives, funding & financing: how film friendly are we?’
- ‘Capacity: Skills and Studios – over or under supply?’
- ‘Speaking with one voice?: Sector coordination and industry partnerships’
- ‘Bums on seats: Re-igniting a vibrant screen culture’
