UCT TV's video: Impact Bootcamp 2018 Supported by Bertha Foundation

The Encounters UCT Impact Bootcamp supported by Bertha Foundation took place in June 2018 at the UCT Television Studio (Centre for Film & Media Studies - UCT). It offered participants the opportunity to maximise the potential of their project by participating in a hands-on workshop on documentary film impact. The purpose of the workshop was to provide tools to develop a concrete impact plan tailored to an individual film project. On day one a morning of topic-specific workshops presented by experts was followed by an afternoon of real world case studies where filmmakers, activists and distributors shared their success and challenges. On the morning of day two, participants met with mentors who have worked successfully in the field of impact producing in order to refine their impact strategies Facilitators included Anita Kanna, Nisha Naidoo and Liani Maasdorp. Case studies include Miners Shot Down, Strike a Rock, STEPS (Afridocs, Why Democracy? and Steps for the Future), Sunshine Cinema mobile cinema. Participants were selected from across South Africa. The bootcamp was fully funded (including direct flights from major cities, accommodation, meals and airport transfers in Cape Town).
