Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Film Sector Groundbreakers (FSG) hosted a two day workshop for upcoming film producers and actors last weekend with the intention of equipping them with the basics of film and ways of cultivating it.<\/p>\n

South African Film Producer Aubrey Silinyana who is a facilitator for script writing and producing revealed to Informative Arts&Lifestyle that through the Maseru Film Club, which is a<\/p>\n

project within FGS, he facilitated a workshop for film makers and actors with the aim to arm them with necessary skills and knowledge on different departments<\/p>\n

within the film industry. Silinyana said the basics entail acting, cinematography, script writing and directing and make-up required in the film production.<\/p>\n

He specified that FSG is a registered company based in Maseru with the sole objective of facilitating film industry development in the country, as part of the film industry enhancement which includes among<\/p>\n

others, King Moshoeshoe Film festival. He explained that it supports the emerging film maker incubation programmes and schools with film production programmes<\/p>\n

that are also capable of setting up film clubs. He said they are also mandated to organize and group communities that show interest in filmmaking, to guide<\/p>\n

them on the right procedures. \u201cLesotho has potential of film production through institutions like Limkokwing University of Creative Technology which offers Degrees in Film and the National University of Lesotho<\/p>\n

(NUL) which provides Degree in Mass Communication also in Theater and Drama<\/p>\n

which assists in capacitating young people who want to venture into the film industry. It is so saddening to perceive people who studied film in the country<\/p>\n

being jobless to an extend that they end up changing their career to get employment or go to South Africa (SA), leaving Lesotho after it has utilized its<\/p>\n

resources to train them,\u201d he showed. Silinyana identified that there is no film commission in Lesotho and laws to guide filmmakers, which would help the<\/p>\n

country to market its locations, he said that would lure international filmmakers to want to shoot movies in Lesotho thus creating employment for Basotho.<\/p>\n

He added that such laws would help in raising funds for Basotho as Lesotho is presently used as a shooting site for international filmmakers leaving Basotho unemployed.<\/p>\n

A local Filmmaker Khauhelo Lephema, also a facilitator of scriptwriting and directing said the training was an eye opener, shaping the mindset of artists by showing them plentiful opportunities within<\/p>\n

the country. \u201cOur first launch of the training was held in Maseru because it has the highest turn out of the overall population of the country but our wish is to extend the workshops to other<\/p>\n

districts so that forthcoming filmmakers and actors are capacitated with relevant skills and factors which they have to take into consideration when joining the field,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
