Co-sponsored by the Kenya Film Commission, the French Embassy in Kenya, and the organisers of the Abidjan and Johannesburg-based Discop Africa market and co- production forum, the Kenya/South Africa Copro initiative will be launched at the Nairobi-based Kalasha International Film and TV Festival and Market. The initiative is aimed at facilitating relations between independent content producers from Kenya and South Africa.

The initiative will seek ten film and television projects with the right components to be co-developed and co-funded by producers from these two countries.

Selected projects at any stage of development or production will be pitched in front of a panel of South African and Kenyan development, commissioning, production and distribution executives, and other key players driving film and television content business across the continent. The panel will be seeking fresh talent, innovative concepts and captivating stories that could also help foster stronger co-production relationships between Kenya and South Africa.

The pitches will take place in Nairobi on 29 October in the context of the inaugural edition of the Kalasha International Film and TV Market, and in Johannesburg on 5 November in the context of the 11th edition of the Discop Africa market and co- production forum.

Following each pitch, the key industry experts sitting on the Nairobi and Johannesburg panels will then provide guidance and recommendations to the projects initiators.

Projects must be submitted by Friday 16 October and a committee of industry specialists will select those that:

Are best equipped and suited for attracting co-production investment

Are original, creative and relevant in Africa and the international market

Clearly demonstrate how the co-production will be structured and presented

Can be adapted for distribution across multiple digital platforms

The ten winning candidates will be notified by 21 October and will then be entitled to the following privileges:

Complimentary market badge to attend the Kalasha International Film and TV Market and the Discop Africa market and co-production forum.

VIP invitation to the Kalasha Awards Ceremony on 30 October

VIP invitation to the Discopro Pitching Competition Awards on 6 November.
