Organisations including Saigon Cowboy Pictures, Aroma Pictures, GS Bookings opened their doors to assist in ensuring that film activity in the Ugu region continues to thrive,” says Mr. Senzo Zindela, Ugu Film Festival Founder and Director. This year, the festival will have various countries represented by industry experts who will share expertise and different aspects of filmmaking and funding. “It is our pleasure to invite films from emerging, aspiring and experienced filmmakers from all over the world as we would be honoured to have diverse films as part of the 10th edition of our festival. We see this edition as the breakthrough opportunity to introduce films to our audience, various distributors and financiers worldwide, furthermore it will be a chance to network and create co-productions,” adds Mr. Zindela.
