To our sponsors, partners, filmmakers, friends and critics, we thank you for your long-standing support. Together we have transformed the documentary landscape in South Africa. Without you, we wouldn’t have made it to 17!
Through your generous support, Encounters continues to grow exponentially. Our audience profile now includes business leaders, activists, ambassadors and foreign cultural representatives, and the film industry we’re focused on developing.
Because of you, we have:
• trained and supported filmmakers in South Africa and across the continent through the Encounters Laboratory
• conducted workshops with leading industry professionals from around the globe
• made the best documentaries from around the world available to all South Africans
The Encounters Training and Development Institute is a not-for-profit section 21 organization. Become a DocLover or Corporate sponsor of Encounters to continue being a part of this cultural revolution.
