The Gauteng Film Commission (GFC) is revving up for the Gauteng Discover Summit, a two-day event set to transform the Sandton International Convention Centre into a vibrant hub for filmmakers on May 9th and 10th, 2024.
This electrifying event positions Gauteng as a dream destination for local and international filmmakers. Industry leaders, visionaries, and policymakers will convene to discuss key resolutions, analyze trends, and chart a course for the future growth of the Gauteng film industry.
“We are excited to bring together leading creatives and policymakers to explore the evolving audio-visual industry,” said Ms. Keitumetse Lebaka, CEO of the GFC. “The Discover Summit will be a platform to share insights, celebrate filmmaking, and shape the future of our industry.”
The summit promises a multifaceted experience, featuring empowering conversations with industry leaders, masterclasses with renowned figures, and a cultural showcase highlighting local talent. An awards night will celebrate Gauteng’s brightest filmmaking stars, while an entrepreneur’s expo will connect filmmakers with local businesses across the filmmaking value chain.
The GFC Discover Summit offers multiple tracks catering to various filmmaking interests, from the booming digital filmmaking scene to the art of storytelling and cultural representation in African cinema.
