AFDA the South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance is a film school located on a dual campus in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, and Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa. AFDA is South Africa's only full member of CILECT [1] and therefore all AFDA degrees are recognized internationally[2]. It offers two three year undergraduate degree programmes - a Bachelors of Arts in Live Performance and a Bachelor of Arts in Motion Picture and postgraduate degrees as an Honours or a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). The AFDA student Honours year film “Elalini”, was selected as the winning film in the 33rd annual Student Academy Awards Honorary Foreign Film category.[3]

AFDA is one of the leading outcomes based film schools in the world and is listed by the Council of Higher Education (CHE) as one of the top six private universities in South Africa[4]. In the course of a rich entrepreneurial history dating back to 1994, AFDA has earned a reputation as one of the leading institutions of its kind in the world today[5].

AFDA continually renews its commitment to facilitate an environment that develops high quality human and intellectual property with the relevant skills to deal with the rigours of a fast expanding and ever changing entertainment industry. At the fully equipped campuses they train graduates to contribute to one of the largest growth industries in the world: entertainment[6]. In the globalised economy, cultural exchange is a valuable currency. AFDA graduates are taught to conceptualise, create and develop indigenous products and commodities for the local and internation market. AFDA students are educated not only to forge profitable and sustainable careers in this market, but are encouraged to develop themselves as employment providers - the cultural entrepreneurs of the future. This film school's alumni have reinvigorated their industries with the quality of their intellectual property, skill and talent. More than 90% of AFDA's Honours alumni are working and employed in their chosen field of specialisation.

[edit] Location

AFDA has two campuses, the first campus is located in Johannesburg the economic hub of Africa whilst the other is located in the beautiful seaside town of Cape Town.

Cape Town, with Table Mountain in background
Johannesburg's CBD

Cape Town, the Mother City, is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful places on the earth and is frequently listed as one of the world's top ten tourist destinations[7]. It is home to three world heritage sites, the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Table Mountain and Robben Island, the cradle of freedom where the leaders in the struggle against apartheid were jailed. The city's pristine beaches are watersports and windsurfing havens and the waters around Cape Peninsuila are a whale-watchers paradise. Here wildlife mingles with city life - even penguins walk in and out AFDA student films in Cape Town! The Cape Town film industry has provided infrastructure and service excellence to international feature film and commercial productions from Germany, Canada, USA, UK and many other countries[8]. The 15 hour long summer days, the world class facilities, the favourable exchange rate and the top-notch craft and technical film crews and cast all combine to make Cape Town one of the first choice cities for overseas productions. AFDA Cape Town campus is situated in Observatory on a 7000 metre square campus in a quaint historical area just outside the CBD where Victorian architecture, industrial enterprise and trendy watering holes for a fascinating and eclectic mix.

Johannesburg is located in a part of the country known as the Highveld because of its relatively high altitude, this mineral rich area is home to the Cradle of Mankind world heritage site. Johannesburg offers you Africa with some of the best first world commodities, infrastructure, cuisine, jazz and art on the continent. Johannesburg or Jozi is South Africa's go-go-go television production kitchen with sunny weather conditions all year round. Fondly known as Jo'burgers, the six million strong population of this vibrant melting pot includes all major ethnicities, plus thousands of western, eastern and central Africans and EU residents. Johannesburg has recently been voted as the least expensive city in the world for expats to live in[9][10]. AFDA was established in Johannesburg in 1994 and is currently situated on a 10 000 metre square campus within a stone's throw of the national broadcaster SABC.

[edit] Degrees

AFDA offers two different undergraduate degrees namely a BA Degree in Motion Picture and a BA Degree in Live Performance. It also offers postgraduate degrees, the BA Honours Degree in Motion Picture and BA Degree in Live Performance as well as the postgraduate degree in Masters of Fine Arts (MFA).

AFDA has developed a unique and dynamic learning programme to meet the creative challenge and the work ethic demanded by the entertainment industry. Our learning programme carefully aligns core course substance with the various discipline skills, research, production analysis, planning and execution. This system equips each learner with the creative resources to conceive value-rich and novel ideas and to bring them efficiently to life in productions that communicate meaningfully with their identified markets.

The outcomes-based learning system is designed to facilitate a thorough and gradual process with a differentiated cognitive focus for each year. The first year offers a broad foundation and focuses on continuity, nurturing and vocational focus. The second year focuses on the entertainment medium, challenging and inspiring, and interrogates the 'nuts and bolts' of the motion picture and live performance courses. The third year is designed to identify and develop each learner's artistic expression - discovering and applying - while the fourth and final year is designed to ensure the maximum commercial management of the learner's discipline profile.

In addition to the compulsory Core Course, AFDA offers discipline electives from which undergraduate students may choose a combination, allowing them to specialise in a particular area of filmmaking or performance. Theses include the following:

The AFDA Honours degree programme has a reputation for delivering both high-quality entertainment practitioners and products of international standard. AFDA Honours students interact with the industry, their films are regularly broadcast on M-net and SABC. The Honours thesis is an in-depth research document with direct usefulness for your career or that is focused on your Master of Fine Arts Motion Picture (MFA).

The AFDA Masters of Fine Arts in Motion Picture degree provides students with the opportunity to become part of the intellectual capital and leadership of the feature film industry - a critical network of democratic South Africa's newand representative talent. It offers direct participation in the research thesis work of key conceptual disciplines and the analysis of their contribution to targeting, tracking and categorising the broader local audience profile.

[edit] International Recognition

Oscar nominated student film, Wamkelekile

AFDA films are exhibited at numerous international festivals and have been broadcast wordwide, winning many prestigious awards including a prized Oscar[11].

At the 33rd annual Student Academy Awards held in Beverely Hills, Hollywood in June 2006, the AFDA production Elalini, directed by Tristan Holmes, won the award for Best Foreign Film. This is the first time that this significant honour bestowed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been awarded to a South African film school[12].

In addition, Ongeriewe was nominated as a finalist in the professional short-film category at the Cannes Film Festival of 2006[13][14]. An AFDA production was nominated yet again for an Academy award for Wamkelekile in the category of Best Foreign Film in 2009[15].

AFDA is a full member of CILECT (Centre International de Liaison de Ecoles de Cinema de Television), the most prestigious and formal governed institutions of film & television schools in the world. AFDA is the only film school in South Africa to be a full member of CILECT[1]. It’s membership includes the likes of Columbia Film School, USC Loyola, Merymount, New York Tisch School of the Arts, Stanford University, AFTRS (Australia), the National Film School UK, but to name a few of its total body of approximately 300 film schools in the world today.

CILECT offers AFDA an international network of reciprocation, knowledge sharing, access to lecturers and the potential to create global cultural projects between the various film schools. CILECT meets every 2 years to debate, network, resolve issues and to present and receive the latest trends and developments in the film industry & film schools.

[edit] Facilities and Equipment

AFDA has a culture of constantly investing in the upliftment, upgrading and ongoing development of its oncampus equipment and facilities. This is an essential part of its overall goal, which is to create a stimulating learning environment in which a pool of talent may be nurtured that will grow the current and future entertainment industry in South Africa. AFDA prides itself on its ability to provide practical but technically advanced facilities and equipment to meet the intellectual, aesthetic, craft, technical and attitudinal skill demands of the industry. These include state of the art postproduction facilities for editing, animation, visual effects and studios for sound design, recording and mixing.

AFDA campuses both have 16mm super sixteen and 35mm film cameras as well as a number of digital industry standard cameras and an extensive range of camera accessories, lenses and lighting equipment. The school is currently in the process of shifting into the required digital platforms and this has been initiated in the acquisition of high-definition cameras for the outside broadcast unit vehicle.

AFDA's OBU (Outside Broadcasting Unit) is a state-of-the-art mobile television vehicle. This unit enables AFDA to train students for the growing demand in various disciplines of live multi-camera recording such as live television productions, concerts, game shows and sporting events like the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup. The unit currently has a three-camera rig that will be upgraded to five cameras in the near future. The rig currently uses three JVC HDV (high-definition) cameras, two of which are linked via a control cable system and one which is linked via a fibre optic system. This allows it to be operated at a distance of 300m from the vehicle. All cameras are remote controlled by CCUs.

A Digital Broadcast Pix Switcher is used to cut between cameras and insert all graphics, clips and chroma key requirements in real time. Final programme material is recorded onto hard disk drive via a Deck Link Multi Bridge interface.The rig has a separate audio station with a digital audio desk to control all audio inputs and mix down to final programme material.
