Have you heard? MultiChoice is searching high and low for aspiring film and TV content creators from southern Africa to be part of the Class of 2023 – and you can still apply.

Now approaching its fifth year, the MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) Academy is calling for applications for its world-class film and TV training programme which kicks off in October. Applications close today, 17 June.

The call is open to all emerging film-makers with either some industry experience or a relevant post-school qualification to apply for this exciting opportunity to hone their television and film production skills. “Our curriculum combines film studies such as directing, sound design and the business of film, to name just a few, with workplace experience on M-Net’s top productions,” the MTF Academy said in a statement.

“At MultiChoice Namibia, we believe in supporting the growth of the film industry in Namibia and through MTF, it is the perfect opportunity for Namibian creatives to enhance their skills and expand their network. We encourage all would-be film-makers to apply for this life-changing opportunity,” MultiChoice Namibia’s corporate affairs manager, Elzita Beukes, said.

Landmark year

The 12-month fully-funded programme is open to candidates from southern African countries. Under the leadership of three new academy directors, this will be a landmark year for the MTF Academy programme.

This year’s newly-appointed MTF Academy directors are Christopher Puta (Southern Africa Hub), Atinuke Babatunde (West Africa Hub), Victoria Goro (East Africa Hub).

In addition to the hands-on training all students will receive as part of the programme, they will also get enhanced training experience from the academy’s partnerships, which include the New York Film Academy, the Henley Business School, Dolby and Canon, among others.
