Free Film Collective - Creativity Pioneers Fund
Applied arts Cinema Education and research

Free Film Collective

Free Film Collective was established to address South African youth's lack of access to quality arts education, particularly in a still-untransformed film industry. In response to the intensified need for training and community post-Covid, FFC runs the Free Film School, offering free, sustainable, and holistic film training programs. The initiative focuses on mentorship and pathways to employment for consistent participants, fostering a supportive environment for aspiring creatives.
