BRICS+ directors' films to be screened at the South African Film Festival

The programme included films by authors from Argentina, Brazil, India, China and Russia

The seconds annual Thokoza Film Festival will be held in South Africa from 29 October to 2 November. The event will be taking place in the city of Thokoza in the province of Gauteng in the north of the country. TV BRICS is the media partner of the event.

The organisers position the festival as an opportunity for emerging filmmakers to present their work and get their first recognition, exchange experiences and establish contacts in the world of creative industries. A variety of documentary, short and feature films by directors from Africa and other continents are expected to be screened.

The TV BRICS International Media Network will present a special programme with films from Argentina, Brazil, India, China and Russia. In particular, the films "Golden Coast of the Arctic" and "Heilongjiang: Zone of Sustainable Economic Development" by director Andrey Porshnyak, the Indian film "Water" by Diya Mari Shaju and Diya Futan, "Counterattack" by Brazilian Victor Uchoa and the Argentine film "My Brother Joaquin" by Luciano Giardino.

Masterclasses are also planned, during which festival guests and novice filmmakers will be able to improve their skills, get acquainted with the work and methods of experienced professionals.

In turn, film market representatives and subject matter experts will take part in panel discussions to discuss various aspects and stages of film production, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing the industry.

Thokoza Film Festival has been held regularly since 2022. According to the organisers, during this time it has become a creative springboard for more than 200 young filmmakers.

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

"This forum, which has brought together leading representatives of the business communities of our country and the ASEAN member states in the hospitable capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is of particular importance. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Russia–ASEAN relations. During this period, we have accumulated substantial experience in multifaceted cooperation, established strong ties, including between the Association’s Business Advisory Council and the Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and created a solid foundation for the future"
