The African Film
industry is set for a revolution through filmmaking, as High Definition Film
Academy (HDFA) launches the 6th edition of its Script2ScreenAfrica filmmaking
and Acting Reality TV project, with the theme “Film as a catalyst for
revolution!”. The Reality TV project which is scheduled to hold from July 1st
to August 26, 2017, will host 60 Finalists, 12 Star actors and trail blazing
filmmakers as mentors, 20 Short films on Social Justice, and climax with a
premiere of the short films at the 2017 Script2ScreenAfrica Awards.
Script2ScreenAfrica
is High Definition Film Academy’s yearly intensive Hands on filmmaking and
Acting training, involving three stages: Training, Short Film Competition, and
Awards. The academy has successfully organized this training for 5 consecutive
years, starting from its maiden edition in 2011/2012. Our 2017 edition is an
upgraded and rebranded version of the previous editions; a Filmmaking and
Acting REALITY TV project with focus on social justice filmmaking, and will
span for Eight (8) weeks
In
a time when our continent is overwhelmed with multiple social ills; corruption,
injustice, inequality, lack of quality education, lack of power supply,
poverty, and insecurity, we seek to train filmmakers with a vision to tell stories
that will tackle some of the continent’s most pressing issues head-on, educate
viewers while entertaining them, and hopefully pique effective action once the
screen’s glow diminishes. Filmmakers who understand that film is an ideal
catalyst for change, and linking a powerful story with a highly developed
activist campaign could move public opinion and start a revolution.
Auditions across
7 states in Nigeria, 3 countries in Africa, U.S and UK (for Africans in the
diaspora) will select 60 finalists into the 2017 Script2ScreenAfrica Reality TV
project House. The 60 Finalists are separated into 6 teams of 10 finalists per
team (5 filmmakers and 5 actors). Each team is headed by a combo of a star
actor and a trail blazing filmmaker as their mentors.
