The CTIFM&F Couch Conversation Series (17 to 20 October 2017) will feature conversations with some of the biggest names in our industry s different disciplines, in an intimate, no frills fashion - as if we were on the couch at each others homes. This series will address the backstory to it all. The overnight success that took 25 years, or 10 years, or might still be going... Not only will this honest conversation series shed light on the humanness thats behind that which we call show business but remind us that with great power comes great responsibility, challenges, ups and downs, heart and ultimately the stuff that dreams are made of.

The tale of the sound of music: (14h00 to 15h00) in conversation with Loki Rothman, James Matthes, Mapumba Cilombo, Michael Broomberg.
Moderated by Donovan Copley.
Sound maestro Loki goes nowhere without his guitar and his very guitar will be doing most of the talking from the couch! Right next to him is another multi-talented maestro, Mapumba; composer, instrumentalist, Afro-musicologist, vocalist and performer. Jet-setter and Foley artist, Michael Broomberg (Hancock, Spider-Man 3, War of the Worlds & Alison) choose to return to South Africa recently to bring his expertise and wealth of knowledge back to African shores while composer James Matthes (Vehicle 19 and the highly anticipated Five Fingers of Marseilles) between scoring and composing, also became a first time dad while managing to still be a husband as well. The show must go on but so does life. In the delicate and sensory world of sound design and music, what counts? What doesnt? What shouldnt? And why should any of it matter? What or who drives these men to make it and make it sound just right too?
The tale of the weavers: (18h00 to 19h00)
in conversation with colourist David Grant (Shepherd s and Butcher s), editor Saki Bergh (Die Antwoord & Wonderboy for President) and FX gurus Craig Parker (Mad Max Fury Road) & Jason Human (Blade Runner 2049, Skollie).
Moderated by Stuart Forest.
For the post team there is a lot to be done as all the arts are being practiced. They work with light, color, music, words, shapes, and movement to tell the story. They choreograph, compose and conduct. Multi award-winning editor Saki Bergh, the weaver behind most of Die Antwoords music videos and Left Post productions Loerie collection; colourist David Grant from Searle Street; FX Wizard, owner of Motif Craig Parker and freelance FX artist, illustrator, designer, fresh from Blade Runner 2049 and multi award-winning Skollie, speak to edit veteran, Ronelle Loots about that which makes them tick, copy, paste where, what and how and why we should care that their favourite colour might just be rainbow. We will also discover that despite the rainbow, how at the end of each of their rainbows, is a pot filled with demons and challenges of their own and how sometimes theres a reason they prefer the darkness of their post rooms and their world to escape into.

The tale of the film critics: (14h00 to 15h00) in conversation with Laetitia Pople, Katie Reynolds, Theresa Smith, Alin Tasciyan (President of FRIPRECI).
Moderated by Ilza Roggeband.
The movie critic wants the same as anyone else, to be entertained, emotionally engaged and have their perceptions challenged. They want a well crafted movie, and as with all audiences - they want something that in some way surprises them or is fresh and new. Anyhow, its the same story for filmmakers really. They need objectivity/impartiality, good judgement and an understanding of how various audiences appreciate movies. This is all good and well but what rally makes them tick. Which movies on the local and international scene struck a chord with them personally, changed them even, even if only a little and how? And what can we do to make more of those kind of movies from this perspective.
The tale of two brothers: (18h00 to 19h00) in conversation with Sharlto and Donovan Copley.
Moderated by Uga Carlini.
Even though Sharlto and Donavon operate in different spheres of the same umbrella, each has had their unique journey but with an invisible thread of copleyness. But what is this magic ingredient that birthed the rise of these two brothers in their own right? Was their childhood any different to ours? What inspired them then and what inspires and keeps them going now? Whats the recipe here for that magic ingredient? Is there a recipe? Did they dream that they could do it and then they did?

The tale of the Film Festival secrets: (14h00 to 15h00) in conversation with Leon van der Merwe, Trevor Taylor, Azza El Hosseiny (Luxor Film Festival).
Moderated by Giam Pietro Balia (Programmer at Berlinale & Black Night of Estonia).
Every year thousands of filmmakers unleash their true loves upon the film festival circuits of the world. It also usually costs an arm and a leg and a hell of lot more if pride, ego and blood, sweat and tears are taken into account too. So with that in mind, lets hear some dead-on, thoughtful advice and experiences from those in the know, and why any of this should matter or should it?
The couch potato lucky packet: (18h00 to 19h00) in conversation with.... Josie Borain (SAs first supermodel), Schalk Burger (famous Springbok, winemaker and director of arts festival KKNK) and Izelle Venter (former Huisgenoot / Drum/You editor-in-chief and now VIA channel head)
Moderated by Sharlto Copley.
The elements of filmmaking and the arts, as well as their patriots, supporters and participators, come in all shapes, sizes and chapters. Our couch potatoes have all had their stories and run-ins with the rich and famous through their very own adventures. So with that in mind, let us now
