Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>MultiChoice is searching for 60 aspiring film and TV content creators from Southern Africa, West Africa and East Africa to be part of the Class of 2023.<\/p>\n

MTF Director Nwabisa Matyumza said MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) Academy is calling for applications for its world-class film and TV training programme which kicks off in October this year.<\/p>\n

Matyumza said the call is open to all emerging filmmakers 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur curriculum combines film studies such as directing, sound design, the business of film, to name a few with workplace experience on M-Net\u2019s top productions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 12-month fully-funded programme is open to candidates from Southern, Western and East African countries.\u201d Matyumza explained.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s newly-appointed MTF academy directors are Atinuke Babatunde (West Africa hub), Victoria Goro (East Africa hub) and Christopher Puta (Southern Africa hub).<\/p>\n

Matyumza said that MultiChoice Africa is committed to building and sustaining the training-to-employment pipeline within Africa\u2019s film and TV industry. The MTF initiative also aims for a 60\/40 split in favour of women since its inception.<\/p>\n

Coming in with 15 years of experience in audio and video production, Southern Africa Academy Director Christopher Puta believes that the growth of Africa\u2019s film and TV industry starts with providing young people with the opportunity to produce quality content.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy equipping students with what it takes to be world-class film and TV professionals, the MTF Academy programme is effectively raising the next generation of African storytellers and historians.\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

In addition to the hands-on training, Puta said that all students will receive as part of the programme, they will also get enhanced training experience from the Academy partnerships, which include the New York Film Academy (NYFA), the Henley Business School, Dolby and Canon, among others.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that previous cohorts have also worked with the United Nations\u2019 Verified campaign, and have pitched projects to Partners Against Piracy (PAP) and Creative Development on a climate change campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe continued support from stakeholders, partners and students has been overwhelming, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited to have reached our fifth year as one of the MultiChoice Group\u2019s leading initiatives directly investing in young African filmmakers,\u201d he said. Applications opened from Monday, 9th May and close on Friday, 3rd June 2022, and have to be completed on https:\/\/cte.multichoicetalentfactory.com<\/p>\n
