We’re being told Media and broadcast communications consultancy Del-York International and the New York Film Academy (NYFA) are coming together again to host a four-week filmmaking training program in Nigeria.
The program which will run from Monday, August 8, 2011 to Saturday, September 3, 2011 will take place at a yet-to-be named facility in the Badagary area of Lagos State.
The training program in its second year aims to ‘transform Nigeria’s creative industries’ by delivering world-class media consultancy and capacity-building services and also inspire future visual storytellers to use the African film industry to increase a better understanding of African culture globally.
The inaugural training program was held in March 2010, when Del-York International and NYFA ‘successfully hosted and trained 400 African students in Abuja’. Out of these graduates, 122 are now gainfully employed in the entertainment sector. Recognizing the program’s cultural and economic importance, the Rivers State Government and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) sponsored 120 and 250 students respectively.
‘The face of filmmaking in Africa has begun taking shape rapidly. Thus, the need for aspiring filmmakers to be better equipped with the knowledge of telling the African story beautifully is imperative’ says Del-York International Managing Director/CEO, Linus Idahosa.
Online application entries for the Del-York/NYFA training program opened on Saturday, July 18, 2011. Scholarship applications will close on 4 July 2011.
