The MTF Academy is a tailored, 12-month training programme facilitated at regional academies based in Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia and South Africa, and headed by industry experts. Working hand-in-hand with local and international creative organisations, regulatory and government partners across the continent, MultiChoice uses its people, facilities and network to provide young emerging filmmakers with the skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications to help the MTF graduates launch a successful career within the creative industry. Through the MTF Academies we have empowered 206 emerging filmmakers from 14 countries across the continent. Collectively they have produced 30 Movies and 16 short films for broadcast on M-Net local channels and Showmax as well as 7 public service announcements (PSA) for the United Nations #PledgetoPause campaign.

Not only does this improve their physical strength, but it’s been proven to strengthen social skills and enhance psychological development. Let’s Play initiatives reach schools and communities across South Africa.

To ensure that all schools (urban and rural) have an equal opportunity to reach the national finals and contest for top honours, the competition is divided into two Streams, Botho (Urban schools) and Ubuntu (Rural Schools).
