Cav' Platform Dialogue Forum

On 22 July 2022 at the Durban FilmMart the Goethe-Institut in collaboration with AnimationSA will host the second dialogue in the 2022 Cav’ Platform and Animation SA Dialogue Forum: Incubators and Creative Clusters as Models for the Transformation of the Audio Visual Industry.

The Dialogue Forum will be moderated by Isabelle Rorke and the panel is composed of experts in incubation, creative clusters and ecosystems strategy Levinia Jones, Leoti Taylor and Xolile Vundla.

The Cav’ Platform is a collaborative project between the Goethe-Institut and Animation South Africa (ASA) that develop dialogue forums focused on topics relevant to the Animation Industry. Goethe-Institut and Animation SA have been collaborating over the past 3 years on the Cav’ Platform particularly focusing on the transformation of the South African animation industry. Each dialogue forum is based on the theme and research findings of transformation requirements within the animation industry.

In the course of German Development Cooperation, GIZ and Goethe-Institut are collaborating with AnimationSA to further develop the ecosystem of the rapidly growing African animation sector. While GIZ is providing support to AnimationSA to strengthen their internal capacity as an industry association, further develop services to members and broaden Animation SA’s role and capacity for advocacy and lobbying work on behalf of the industry, the Goethe-Institut is focusing on support to enable extensive industry dialogues.

The event will be live and to RSVP contact Sandile – Makhathini.sandile@goethe.de
