The Encounters UCT Impact Bootcamp supported by Bertha Foundation offers you the opportunity to maximise the potential of your project by participating in a hands-on workshop on documentary film impact. The purpose of the workshop is to give you the tools to develop a concrete impact plan tailored to your individual film project.
On day one a morning of topic-specific workshops presented by experts will be followed by an afternoon of real world case studies where filmmakers, activists and distributors share their success and challenges. The morning of day two will see participants meeting with mentors who have worked successfully in the field of impact producing to refine their impact strategies.
You can participate with a finished film, a project in development or without a project if you would like to pursue a career as impact producer working on others' films.

Facilitators include Anita Kanna, Nisha Naidoo and Liani Maasdorp. Case studies include Miners Shot Down, Strike a Rock, STEPS (Afridocs, Why Democracy? and Steps for the Future), Sunshine Cinema mobile cinema.
Participants will be selected from across South Africa. Only ten seats are available. The bootcamp is fully funded (including direct flights from major cities, accommodation, meals and airport transfers in Cape Town).
