After being selected for the New Dimensions Electric South workshop in South Africa in July 2017, project Container was selected to pitch at the IDFA Central Fourm in Amsterdam, November 2017. It was one of the three new media projects selected to pitch at this prestigious forum.
Following the pitch, we had several meetings with potential funders, co-producers and advisors from the BBC Arabic, BBC London, Women make movies, Chicken and Egg, Arte, France TV, MIT Lab amongst others who have expressed interest in the project and potential collaborations. Interest was also expressed in us expanding the project to different global world cities and we have taken that on board in a serious way depending on funding.
