Canada – home to Drake, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion and many other stars – will shine as the guest country at this year’s FAME Week Africa.
FAME Week Africa is the go-to premiere event for the film, TV and music industries in Africa. It brings together industry experts, creatives, and investors to network, learn, showcase their talents and explore business-to-business collaboration.
The partnership between FAME Week Africa and Canada will showcase the exciting opportunities that exist between Africa and Canada in the creative industries and is set to further enhance the business opportunities available to attendees. After all, Canada is known for its world-class entertainment industry and creative capabilities and talent.
Martin Hiller, the event director of FAME Week Africa stated that he is excited to have Canada as their guest country for FAME Week Africa’s 2023 edition. “With its cutting-edge technology, state-of-the-art production facilities, and experienced talent pool, Canada offers African content creators the chance to take their craft to the next level. The partnership between FAME Week Africa and Canada will undoubtedly provide a platform for African creators to showcase their talent to the world and foster fruitful relationships between the two industries.”
Chris Cooter, High Commissioner for Canada in South Africa added, “Having Canada as the guest country for FAME Week Africa is a vital opportunity for African content creators to connect with Canadian professionals, and explore opportunities for collaboration.”
He noted that the partnership will particularly be strengthened by highlighting the “Audio Visual Coproduction Agreement between Canada and South Africa, which has been in existence since 1997.”
This year’s event is said to be bigger and better than ever before, as there will be exciting speakers, panel discussions, workshops and networking events.
FAME Week Africa is the perfect opportunity for musicians, filmmakers or television professionals to connect with some of the most innovative and dynamic players in the entertainment industry.
