AFS African Regional Producers Workshop

In June 2018, the American Film Showcase (AFS) hosted 9 teams of emerging documentary producers and their filmmaker partners from Anglophone African countries for a six-day workshop focused on documentary film producing. Produced in collaboration with the U.S. Consulate in Cape Town and the Encounters (the oldest and leading documentary festival in Africa), participants travelled to Cape Town, South Africa to learn the ins-and-outs of producing a feature length documentary film with the support of American film experts. The workshop was led by Roger Ross Williams and Heidi Fleisher.
