--
The two-a-day CTIFM&F Couch Conversation Series (17 until 20 October 2017) will be a first of its sorts for the South African film festival and market landscape. Here we will get to chat to 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, 10 years, 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 worlds a stage: (14h00 to 15h00) in conversation with Antoinette Louw, Christia Visser, Elana Afrika & Lee-Ann van Rooi.
Moderated by Louw Venter.
Theres absolutely nothing special about her acting. Shes not particularly attractive. I cant stand her. She is over 40. She is under 30. She is fat. She is too thin.... These ladies have heard it all but still they raise the bar higher. They keep going and despite some who want to see them fail, and even when they have, they simply dont make it their problem. So is it failure or just something that didnt work out? So with that in mind, what else can we learn about these incredible actresses behind their proverbial closed doors and their coping mechanisms that translates and transcended through their performances and into our hearts.
The tale of how behind every actor is a die hard agent and casting director - or not: (16h00 to 17h00) in conversation with Christa Schamberger Young, Adrian Galley and Suzanne Smith Boje.
Moderated by Adrian Galley (SAG).
In Hollywood the casting director is recognised as a vital ingredient in the filmmaking process and casting directors will get up front credits next to the cinematographers, editors, screenwriters and other crafts people. Finally this important group of people are getting the recognition they ve been fighting for, for years. With this in mind, meet casting agent Christia Schamberger Young and get some insight too from the acting agent who finds the talent to send to the casting director to begin with, Suzanne Smith Boje from Stella talent. And then theres the actors perspective, and who better but multi-talented Adrian Galley (Zulu & Labyrinth as well as vice-chair SAG) to give us just that.
The tale of the multi-faceted director: (18h00 to 19h00) in conversation with Uga Carlini (Alison) & Brett Michael Innes (Sink).
Moderated by Rob van Vuuren as Twakkie from the Corn en Twakkie Show...
At this years SAFTAs we saw several examples of the same name pop up in different categories under some of South Africas favourite nominated films. This tells us that a new breed of director has emerged, that of which versititily, a bag of tools bigger than life itself and a spirit to match is required to make it as part of that small percentage of films that actually got made. We all have our challenges but can everyone please not be so serious...

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 enter
