Supported by the World Bank, the programme aims to equip participants with the necessary skills to develop their project from concept to market-ready proposal, highlighting the creative genius "made in Africa".
Programme details
The programme is divided into two phases. The first is virtual, including masterclasses, networking and individual development with Future of Film. The selected projects will also benefit from professional audience research tests. At the end of this phase, three projects will be chosen to continue on to more advanced stages of the programme, with more personalised support.
These final projects will have the opportunity to be presented to a panel of influential executives, financiers and buyers from the screen industries. The ultimate goal is to successfully finance the final projects and empower participants to build sustainable businesses based on their creations.
The programme is taught in English, but it is possible to submit projects in French or other languages, as long as participants can complete the training modules and present their work in English.
