Upon completion, students receive accredited and recognised qualification and get a chance to produce and direct short films showcased on MultiChoice platforms.“All these initiatives are indicative of MTFs commitment to supporting MultiChoice’s content selection of delivering exciting local content, which is rich in culture,” continued Gertze. “Africa has many untold stories and by investing in African talent, MultiChoice gets to uncover and showcase these stories by supporting MTFs students, giving them necessary skills and the platform to produce content that resonates with Africans and the global market. Through this support, MTF alumni’s have achieved phenomenal success in their productions.”Just last year, Namibian alumni secured nominations across two categories at the 2023 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) for the films ‘The 11th Commandment’ and ‘Mfumukazi’.
