The Cape Film Imbizo

We were later joined by the Commissioner of the Cape Film Imbizo, Lawrence Mitchell.

The Imbizo will run from the 06th to the 9th of November 2007 at various venues in Camps Bay.

“Fundamentally the aim of this Imbizo is to strategically align and comprehensively integrate efforts of the various key industry players and promote interactive dialogue to advance the production of film in the region,” says Mitchell.

The Imbizo will conclude with the launch of the First Cape Town Film Awards to celebrate the outstanding contribution made by those in the industry, those who are seldom recognised.
