MINISTER DAVIES TO LAUNCH THE EMERGING BLACK FILMMAKERS INCENTIVE

The Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr Rob Davies invites members of the media to the launch of the South African Emerging Black Filmmakers Incentive Scheme.

DATE              : Monday, 15 September 2014

TIME               : 10:30

VENUE           : Industrial Development Corporation (IDC)
                          19 Fredman Drive, Sandton

The objective of the South African Emerging Black Filmmakers Incentive Scheme is to support emerging black filmmakers with an intention to nurture and grow them to take-up big productions and thus contribute towards employment opportunities.

“In recent years, it emerged that many emerging black filmmakers could not participate in a fuller measure in the current scheme because it requires productions with a minimum of R2.5 million budget. In order to correct the market failures, government has decided to introduce an incentive scheme which is aimed specifically at developing emerging black filmmakers,” says Davies.
