Multichoice Talent Factory Film Academy 2022 | What to Expect

The Multichoice Talent Factory is an Africa-wide, multi-tiered training and experiential learning programme by MultiChoice Africa. It is designed to provide the African creative industry with a platform to learn, develop talent, engage and connect with each other through shared passions.

In May 2022, on the occasion of Africa Month, we are launching a call to entry for the MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) Academy class of 2023. We are recruiting aspiring African talent – that is you – to gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in cinematography, film editing, audio production and storytelling.

Sixty talented students from 13 African countries will get the chance to hone their film and television production skills alongside industry greats. This year-long, funded, programme will be supported by MultiChoice Talent Factory academies hosted in Kenya, Nigeria and Zambia. Students will create quality local content that will be broadcast on our local M-Net channels on the MultiChoice platform.
