JOHANNESBURG – Tshwane local, George Temba has called it a privilege to be a young filmmaker in South Africa.
Temba, who is elated at the win, says to take this one home was especially important as the story represents who he is and where he comes from. ' Joburg Film Festival February 4, 2023 The filmmaker was part of the Joburg Film Fest Youth and Audience Development Programme which targets young people between the ages of 18 and 25 who are students or aspirant filmmakers from previously disadvantaged communities.
"People like us can showcase our capabilities and get a sense of recognition. And that on its own evokes a different type of inspiration in other young people seeing a peer who is like them, with little resources and no experience of the industry being able to share a stage with the greats of the industry simply from doing what they can also do by using whatever resource is at their disposal to tell their own stories.
“Its primary aim is to give the youth from our townships and aspiring filmmakers who are storytellers but may not have had the privilege of going to film school. We want to give them access to the industry by hosting workshops and masterclasses on key aspects of filmmaking,” said Selane.
