The 5th North West Film Festival will take place across the North West
Province, South Africa, September 14th – 23rd 2007. The 2007 Festival theme,
Ke Ya Rona (Setswana for \’It is ours\’), emphasises the need, particularly
for the North West people, to start taking ownership of the film industry
either as active audiences or filmmakers.
The NWFF is the only film Festival in the North West Province and the
only provincial film Festival in the whole country. The primary objectives
of the NWFF are: to edutain (educate + entertain) society through the medium
of film; to provide exposure for local and international films and most
importantly to nurture and develop the North West film industry.
The NWFF will showcase between 40-50 South African and international
films comprising of shorts, documentaries and fiction features.
As early as 30 July 2007, the NWFF will host a 4 week filmmaking
workshop where 8 young aspirant filmmakers from around the North West
Province will participate in the rigorous training and skills development
programme. Among the workshop facilitators are award winning international
trailblazers Vincent Moloi (A Pair of Boots and a Bicycle, Men of Gold,
Night Sweepers, Just Food, Luting, Society) and Khalo Matabane(The Story of
a Beautiful Country, When We Were Black, Conversations on a Sunday
Afternoon). Films made during this workshop period will be showcased during
the Festival in September.
The main Festival will take place in Mafikeng, the capital of the
North West Province, with community outreach projects in the rural regions
of Bojanala, Bophirima and Southern districts.
The Festival anticipates a hive of film activities and side events. A
special event will be held in remembrance of the Festival founder director,
Omphemetse Disipi who passed on shortly after the 2006 Festival.
The 5th NWFF is being curated by Joan Legalamitlwa who has extensive
experience in organising film festivals. She worked as Festival director on
the Encounters South African International Documentary Festival, as
production manager on the Cape Town World Cinema Festival,served on the
Jury at the Apollo Film Festival and has traveled to a number of
international film Festivals.
« It is good to be working on a project at home. The North West
Province is very unique and beautiful and we need to create world class
activities to attract more people to come and share in our beauty. The 5th
NWFF aims to do just that. » said Legalamitlwa
