By request, director Ian Gabriel’s hard-hitting film Four Corners will have its US premiere at the Seattle Film Festival as part of the event’s mission to “discover extraordinary films from around the world’.

Selected as the official South African submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards, Four Corners has also been invited to screen in competition at Giffoni, the largest children’s film festival in the world near Naples in South Italy.

Although the movie’s Cape Flats subject matter was regarded as very hard-hitting by the festival’s selection panel, the film was praised for its “strong and convincing youth ensemble cast’.

The cast is led by 13-year-old Jezriel Skei, who plays the lead role in Four Corners. He is supported by various other youth actors including Israel Lever who was only seven when the film was shot.

The young cast members were chosen from widespread street castings at chess clubs, schools and community centres across the Cape Flats and from traditional castings in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Discussions are under way for the movie to play at festivals in Cannes, Montreal, Sidney and Rio.

Four Corners is screening nationwide in South Africa through Indigenous Film Distribution.

L-S-B Broadcast Technologies GmbH expands market presence in China

One of the leading manufacturers of control systems for radio and television production, L-S-B Broadcast Technologies GmbH, Wiesbaden (Germany), has expanded its market presence with various projects in China.

Several new installations and projects have strengthened the market position of L-S-B’s Virtual Studio Manager (VSM) in the People’s Republic of China.

To equip both studio facilities and OB vans with its high-performance VSM system, L-S-B has worked in partnership with exclusive distributor NDT.

VSM is an IP-based control and monitoring tool and projects have benefited fully from its flexibility and simple operability for everyday requirements in addition to the independence VSM brings from hardware manufacturers.


Hunan TV
Chinese broadcaster Hunan TV has become established as the leading entertainment channel in the country. It is using VSM in two new projects: its new HD 12OB Van and a new 1,400m2 studio complex.

In HD 12, the VSM system controls a whole range of Evertz equipment including an Evertz xenon video-router, Evertz HD2012 video converters and frame synchronisers in addition to an Evertz VIP/MVP multi-viewer system.

The replay area is equipped with EVS XT Nano servers and a Telex Cronus 32×32 acting as an intercom system.

A redundant VSM server cluster was equipped providing total fail-safe operation for Hunan TV’s new 1,400m2 studio. Numerous hardware panels were also combined.

These have freely configurable LCD buttons which are able, for example, to trigger a number of events with a press of a button.

VSM is also used as the main Tally system for the studio and includes several hardware UMDs with dynamic labelling and Tally information.

Anhui TV
Another project implemented successfully in 2012 was to equip Anhui TV’s new studio building. Anhui TV is a regional broadcaster in the east Chinese province of Anhui with satellite-based channels and a full programme schedule.

The new studio complex comprises two studios (1,000m2 und 1,200m2), in which VSM acts as a universal control and monitoring system with redundant servers.

In the video area the VSM controls an Evertz xenon router, and two Sony MVS 6500 video mixers in addition to an Evertz VIPX multi-viewer system. The VSM system is tasked, among other things, with labelling the components and operating as a tally system.

Using the VSM system in the two studios provides ultimate flexibility in terms of resource planning. The “boxing’ function makes it possible to store and retrieve complete production set-ups.

Ultimately this “packaging’ of resources in virtual environments means that whole productions can be transported from one studio to another – all with the press of a button.

This function provides a powerful disaster / recovery system ensuring total production security.

Tencent Sigma Studio Group
Tencent is one of the biggest Chinese content providers on the internet with its own service portal. In 2012 it commissioned NDT to plan the Sigma Studio Group project and provide all the technical equipment.

The project consists of five studios and an EFP unit (electronic field production). The studio complex was used for the first time in 2012 to broadcast the Olympic Games from London.

In the studios the VSM controls both the audio and video equipment. A Sony 7000 video mixer, a Sony HSC-E80 HD camera and an Evertz video router are used in the video area, while additional equipment includes an EVS server in the replay area and a BMD VC80 as a format converter. A TELEX system serves as intercom system.

Jiangxi TV
Jiangxi Television is a broadcaster in the east of China that currently operates five studios and offers a full schedule of programming. To expand its fleet of OB Vans a new HD 2 OB Van was commissioned. The VSM system controls all equipment in the truck.

Evertz hardware is again used: an Evertz xenon router, Evertz VIP/MVP multi viewer, Evertz HD2012 frame synchronisers and converters. EVS XT nano servers are used to operate the replay area and these are also controlled by the VSM. The IP-based structure of the VSM system provides maximum flexibility and ensures rapid reaction times in daily operation.

Easy configuration and openness towards the equipment of third party manufacturers enables the VSM system to meet the changing demands placed on the HD 2 OB van in ways that save time and money.

The premier distributor of content for and from Africa, Cote Ouest, announces a remarkable range of international sales for Pokou Princess Ashanti, Africa Zapping and Emmy-nominated Angolan soap-opera Windeck. Amounting to 200 hours, the deals were sold to various territories in Europe and Africa.

“We are really happy with the volume of content we have recently sold,’ says Bernard Azria, Chairman and CEO of Cote Ouest Audiovisuel. “The exceptional number of hours sold is reflective of the high quality of African content we can provide. We’re especially proud of the success we’ve had with programmes reaching a wider audience across Europe.’

Emmy-nominated Angolan soap opera Windeck, which headlines Cote Ouest’s extraordinary number of sales, has been sold to TV channels from the MultiChoice group in South Africa.

Produced by Angolan production company Semba, Windeck (120 x 45’), explores the consequences of uninhibited ambition in the fictional newsroom of a lifestyle magazine called Divo.

A web of betrayal and intrigue, passion and glamour within the publishing world is brought to life in the series. While capturing the vibrancy of Angolan culture, Windeck portrays the story of those who will stop at nothing to succeed.

The series was shot on location Luanda, Angola’s capital and one of Africa’s most vibrant cities. Windeck experienced massive success in Angola and Portugal where it achieved a market share of 22.3% on RTP1, which is the main the main television channel of Radio e Televisao de Portugal, the Portuguese public broadcasting corporation.

Innovative and uique series Africa Zapping, produced by Cote Ouest, has already started airing daily on Vox Africa and has been acquired by more than 10 local and national TV channels on the African continent.

The series, produced on a daily basis, serves as a barometer of the social, cultural and political life in Africa. Africa Zapping comprises three-minute snapshots of outstanding, hilarious and sometimes strange TV moments that have been broadcast across French-speaking African in the previous 24 hours. The contrast of different views presented in these clips results in a humorous and creative show that will captivate viewers everywhere.

The film Pokou Princess Ashanti, produced by production company Afrikatoon, has been acquired by TV5 Afrique and is the first 65-minute 3D animation movie from the Cote d’Ivoire. It tells the story of an 18th century princess who sacrificed her son to save her people.

In an effort to improve the African internet experience, undersea fibre cable provider SEACOM announced that they have signed a new partnership with Akamai Technologies.

SEACOM has installed Akamai content clusters and caching nodes on its Pan-African IP network footprint.

The nodes will quicken and enhance HTTP content, rich media, downloadable files, video, music, software updates and other web content requested by operators and Internet Service Providers connected to SEACOM’s IP network.

In turn, African end-users will enjoy lower latency, faster speeds and more reliable service when accessing popular web services and content from around the world.

Says Sabine Sitterli, Senior Director Network Business Development, Akamai EMEA: “Akamai’s Accelerated Network Partnership with SEACOM is an important part of Akamai’s continued platform expansion strategy in Africa to improve reliability and performance for internet users across the continent.’

“Bringing content directly onto the African continent ensures SEACOM provides the best and most comprehensive IP Transit offering to our customers,’ comments Robert Marston, SEACOM Global Head of Product. “The benefit for African internet users is that they will enjoy an internet experience that is truly world class as they access the services and content they depend on every day.’

He concludes, “SEACOM’s IP network was named as the Best Pan-Africa initiative at the 2013 AfricaCom Awards. We will continue to develop new partnerships and expand our network and IP Transit offerings to help our operator and service provider customers to differentiate themselves in today’s competitive and highly-evolving African marketplace.’

FCB South Africa: Creative Circle’s best performing agency

FCB South Africa has emerged as the best performing agency group with three different agencies featuring at the Creative Circle’s Ad of the Year Awards 2013 on 3 April.

With its first position for Engen Fire Blanket in the outdoor category, FCB Cape Town lead the agency’s pack.

Toyota Genuine Parts “Orchestra’ and Lexus Cliches from FCB Johannesburg tied with itself in the radio category when it was awarded second place twice, while a joint effort by Hellocomputer and FCB Johannesburg took third place in the digital category for the Johannesburg Zoo’s “Tweeting Badger’, the campaign that took the world by storm.

Brett Morris, FCB South Africa CEO, said that these were notoriously tough awards to win with only one award in each category for the entire year. According to Morris, FCB South Africa’s performance demonstrated the group’s creative depth and prowess.

He said, “This was a great outing for the group. Given the stiffness of the competition and the stringency of the judging, a first, two seconds and a third are a welcome addition to our trophy cabinet, especially seeing as they come from three different agencies in the group.’

Morris commented that ending up as the evening’s top ranked group overall, was an unexpected cherry on the top.

“It’s really very gratifying to see the commitment to creativity across the group acknowledged in this way. Huge respect to the teams involved, and well done to everyone who touched the work from strategy through to client service, traffic, production and, of course, client,’ he concluded.

Independence Avenue Films will launch on Tuesday 15 April in Namibia, focusing on the distribution of film products in the country.

Due to a lack of a movie distribution and film agency company, Independence Avenue Films aims to address the challenges faced in the Namibian film industry in terms of distribution, agency and marketing. The company also wants to focus on film-related events to establish a cinema culture in Namibia.

At the launch, The President by Jean-Pierre Bekolo (Cameroon / Germany) will have its Namibian premiere and Najat Jellab’s short film, The Projectionist (Morocco) will also screen.

The President takes an intense, fictionalised look at current African politics and takes shape around activism, without losing its humourous touch.

In The Projectionist, Majid lives only for his job and his passion for films. His world is shattered when he finds out that the owner of the theatre where he works, has decided to sell it.

Jellab’s film won Best Short Film Award at the Harlem International Film Festival and received a Special Mention at the 3rd Luxor African Film Festival in March.

Interested members of the Namibian film and arts industry and the wider public are invited to the launch of Independence Avenue Films on 15 April at 19h00 at the Warehouse Theatre. Entrance is free.

For more information, send an email to Independence.Ave.Films@gmail.com.

Al Jazeera urging public to send messages to staff members after 100 days of captivity in Egypt

To mark the 100th day of the detention of Al Jazeera English staff Peter Greste, Mohammed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed, Al Jazeera is urging people to join in by sending their own personal messages to the detainees on social media using the hashtag #FreeAJStaff on Twitter, Vine and Instagram.

Al Jazeera itself will be releasing an online video of support from the families, friends and colleagues of the Al Jazeera staff who have been detained. The video, alongside public support on social media, will attempt to build on the online #FreeAJstaff campaign, which has already had 800 million impressions on Twitter alone since 1 February 2014.

Al Jazeera hopes the attention of the world’s media will put pressure on the Egyptian authorities to hasten the release of Greste, Fahmy, Mohamed and Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Abdullah Al Shamy – who has been detained since August 2013 – by reminding them, in a united voice, that journalism is not a crime.

In New York, a press conference will call on the Egyptian authorities to immediately release its journalists.

Owen Watson, executive producer of Al Jazeera English, will be joined by Gary Pruitt, president of the Associated Press; Susan Chira, assistant managing editor of The New York Times; Jon Williams, managing editor: international, ABC News; Abderrahim Foukara, bureau chief, Al Jazeera Arabic; and Sherif Mansour, Middle East and North Africa programme coordinator, CPJ.

An event will also be held by the Columbia Journalism School, showing support for solidarity with Al Jazeera.

In London, at the Journalist Safety Symposium taking place at the BBC, Heather Allan, head of newsgathering at Al Jazeera English, will deliver a speech outlining the current situation in Egypt. After the Symposium, delegates, journalists and media freedom organisations will be hosting a protest and photocall at the Piazza at New Broadcasting House.

The Foreign Correspondents’ Association of Southern Africa will also hold a protest outside the Pretoria High Court with attendees taping their mouths standing in solidarity with Al Jazeera.

“Mohamed, Baher, and Peter have now been behind bars in Egypt for 100 days for simply doing their job, and for carrying out the highest quality journalism,’ said Al Anstey, managing director of Al Jazeera English.

He continued: “The charges against them are false and baseless, so there is no justification whatsoever in the detention of innocent journalists for such an outrageous amount of time. We continue to call for their immediate release and for the release of our colleague from Al Jazeera Arabic Abdullah Al Shamy, who has been behind bars for 236 days.’

“We are very grateful for the immense support of our staff from right around the world. The response to their detention has been outstanding,’ added Anstey. “Over 40,000 people have been actively involved in the campaign; events have been held in over 30 countries and in every continent; there have been over 800 million impressions of the FreeAJStaff hashtag; and there have been repeated calls for an end to the detention of our journalists from governments, as well as media organisations from all corners of the globe.

“The campaign is focused on the release of our four staff, but is fundamentally a stand in the defence of journalism itself, and a call for people everywhere to have a right to be heard and the right to know what is really going on in their world,’ he concluded.

Since 29 December 2013, there have been calls for the release of all Al Jazeera staff detained in Egypt from the White House, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the European Union.

Similarly public calls of support for the #FreeAJStaff campaign have been made from prominent media personalities like Christiane Amanpour from CNN, ITN’s Mark Austin, Channel Seven Australia’s Mark Ferguson, SKY news correspondent Sam Kiley and the BBC’s Lyse Doucet.

Various media freedom and human rights groups have issued statements, ranging from the Committee to Protect Journalists, the International Press Institute, Amnesty International and Foreign Correspondents’ Association of East Africa.
