South Africa Update
Dear filmmakers,
As you all know the Ikon process has taken longer
to finalise we are happy to report progress
in the project. One of the films that started
out as an Ikon short documentary film in 2004
has now blossomed into a feature film - Mr Devious
- my life. We are this month finalising the
arrangements for the SABC platform after which
we will be contacting everyone about the status
of their films, and feedback on the next round
of ikon workshops which will focus on pre-production.
In the meantime keep on networking and building
stronger film regions. For more information
you can contact Vaughan or Martina on 021-9331514
