DURBAN Carlos Salcedo World Cup Jersey , South Africa, July 16 (Xinhua) -- The South African Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said Sunday they will spend about 7.5 million U.S. dollars by March 2018 to support emerging black filmmakers in the country.
At the Emerging Black Filmmakers Workshop during the Durban International Film Festival (DIFF), Director of Film Production at the DTI, Nelly Molokoane said the South Africa Emerging Black Filmmakers Incentive started in 2014 and has so far benefited 40 filmmakers.
"We are planning to host intense workshops in various provinces to assist filmmakers in accessing this support," said Molokoane.
Some producers have been struggling to access funding and the workshop was an information session. The Emerging Black Filmmakers Workshop was targeted at emerging film producers who want to access the incentives scheme and inform them on how to do it.
The workshop was hosted to assist those that needed training on the incentive scheme and guidelines, said Molokoane.
Rehad Desai, Director of the Marikana documentary, Miners Shot Down and a beneficiary of the incentive, said the funding will enable South African producers to compete on the continent and in the world in terms of quality production.
"We are seeing far more films being produced since the launch of the scheme and this means funding of projects happens in a lot short space of time and one can go into production quicker. This also means our production companies are becoming sustainable but the incentive can be made more accessible as some of the costs are regarded as non-qualifying and this affects the production qualification," he added.
DIFF is an annual event which is the oldest and largest film festivals in Southern Africa. The film festival started on July 13 and will end on July 23, 2017.

BUDAPEST, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Just three weeks after havinglost a legal battle against the European Union's (EU) migrantrelocation scheme at the European Court of Justice, Hungary said noto the next similar plan of the EU here on Thursday.
"The relocation system of the EU has failed," Janos Lazar,Hungarian Minister of Prime Minister's office told reporters. "BySeptember 26, out of the 98,255 migrants concerned by thecompulsory relocation plan, only 29,144 have been adopted withinthe European Union, which means that the institutional system ofcommon migration is doomed to failure."
Lazar spoke about the so-called compulsory quota system ofrelocation of migrants, the deadline of which was September 26.
Hungary and Slovakia had launched a legal case at the EuropeanCourt of Justice (ECJ) on the scheme adopted in 2015, but have losttheir case. On September 6, the ECJ dismissed the legal actionlaunched by Slovakia and Hungary against the compulsory relocationscheme of migrants, in order to lift some of the burden from fellowEU members Italy and Greece, who were hit the strongest by theinflux of migrants seeking a better life in the EU.
This time, the last scheme of Brussels is not compulsory, butvoluntary, and concerns some 50,000 refugees.
"It is obvious that this also concerns the new Brussels system,this time based on volunteering, to relocate 50,000 people. It isincomprehensible why Brussels is trying to continue in thisdirection?" Lazar wondered.
"The defense of borders must remain within the authority ofnation-states, hence Hungary is not going to participate in thecommon migration policy and of course will not take anyone underthis regime," he underlined. Enditem
