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)
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.
