I am a SAFTA winning TV Producer, writer and film academic; but moreover I am passionate about film’s ability to communicate, transform and provoke positive change. I am privileged to act as a jury member for the ITFFA 2022 – an initiative which is imperative in drawing attention to Africa’s rich narratives. It is an honour to be acknowledging the filmmakers and artists who have dedicated themselves to documenting Africa’s story, and rewarding them for their contributions to African film and tourism development.
