PROGRAMME SUBMISSION CLOSED

Every year, television filmmakers around the world are invited to submit programmes by the national coordinators in various countries. The programmes that make it through this round are then sent to the Shop Stewards, an International Selection Committee. They meet for ten days each February to review hundreds of submissions. The Shop Stewards end up choosing between 80 to 100 of the best programmes to screen at the upcoming Input conference.

A HISTORIC INPUT

It will be the first time that partners from an entire Continent join hands to stage this global TV event. The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) is the Host Broadcaster. Pan African media organisations, under the umbrella of the African Broadcast Media Partnership (ABMP), have pledged their full support.

The Input 2008 team is ensuring maximum attendance from across the African Continent. This is an event that will boost local industries, taking African TV storytelling to the world and bringing the world to Africa. 

The theme Back to the Beginning is informed by:

  • Africa the Cradle of Humankind
  • The return of Input to Africa after its debut on the Continent in 2001 in Cape Town
  • Returning to the compelling simplicity of good stories well told
