In partnership with the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) and this year\u2019s Youth Achiever Award winner Thapelo Mokoena, Ster-Kinekor will be hosting an outdoor screening showcasing 4 short films that form part of the Wavescape Film Festival, which features films about surfing, the ocean and associated adventure sports, which represents the heart of Durban.<\/p>\n
Says Motheo Matsau, Chief of Marketing and Sales of Ster-Kinekor Theatres: \u201cThis is a very exciting move for us. Ster-Kinekor supports the local film industry and this partnership with DIFF shows our dedication to the development of the rising stars of tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn line with our vision of promoting and supporting local content, representatives from Ster-Kinekor will also take part in a panel discussion organised by the NFVF on Monday, 17 July. The focus of the discussion will be on issues surrounding the distribution and marketing of local film content as well as addressing the negative perceptions around the SA film industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
In its 38th year, the DIFF takes place from 13 July to 23 July. It is the largest film festival in Southern Africa and presents over 200 screenings celebrating the best in South African, African and international cinema.<\/p>\n
The outdoor screening will take place at the Bay of Plenty on Sunday, 16 July and will be the opening of the Wavescape\u2019s Film festival showcasing the following four films:<\/p>\n
