The festival itself is taking place in Pretoria, South Africa. Pretoria is one of South Africa's THREE capitals (yes three!), the other two being Bloemfontein and Cape Town. Each capital serves a different purpose with Bloemfontein acting as the judicial capital and Cape Town being the seat of Parliament. Pretoria is the administrative capital and where the President is seated.

Part of the festivities would be for filmmakers to attend the world-renowned Pretoria Art Gallery. The gallery is one of the finest in South Africa and would be a great opportunity for artists in the film industry to further analyse other art and open up healthy discussions.

A trip to the Union Buildings to see a massive statue of Tata Nelson Mandela out front of where the South African government conducts its duties.

So many activities are to be conducted alongside attending the festival. We hope to see you all there!
