The Africa Channel (TAC), sponsors of the inaugural Zanzibar TV Series Festival and the Zanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF), have announced the 20 official titles entered into competition for the award for Best TV Series at ZIFF 2018.
The new categories of best TV and best Web Series, were announced last year by ZIFF as part of its partnership with Africa's largest content markets, DISCOP. The inaugural DISCOP Zanzibar is set to run from 11 to 13 July alongside ZIFF 2018 which is taking place from 7 to 15 July.

Within ZIFF, the three days of TV series screenings, presented by TAC, will be the official showcase for TV shows selected in competition for ZIFF. The selection team at ZIFF was overwhelmed with the response in the first year of the competition, with dozens of TV shows being submitted from across Africa.
Two days of competition screenings selected by the ZIFF will screen on 12 and 13 July, and will be followed by a showcase day of screenings on 14 July where platforms such as TAC will premier some of their most exciting African-influenced content developed for the global marketplace. These include projects The Bank, developed with Emmy-nominated producers Rebecca and Doug Henning and Matt Luetwyler; World Wide Nate, an extreme adventure show; and Minjiba Entertains, a food and lifestyle show.
Open to the public as well as industry guests, the Zanzibar TV Series Festival strives to create a stage on which the foremost creators in the world of TV series come together, where tomorrow's talents are showcased and a prestigious international competition for a wide range of genres and for series of all shapes and forms is presented.
To further support this event, TAC will also be presenting a panel discussion at DISCOP Zanzibar targeted specifically at independent TV/content producers looking to sell their material internationally. The panel will cover topics including: creating for international markets, co-productions for independents, thinking beyond pan-African, and connecting Africa to the world.
