“WE CARE, WE SHARE, FOR THE AUDIOVISUAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT”
FVTIA appreciates the current unfavorable environment under which the Film schools operate as characterized by poor funding, low level of film training, lack of unity among the film schools, lack of professionalism in the film training and production, unfriendly policies and lack of a well-developed curriculum for proper film training and production, which has negatively impacted on the film industry in Uganda. Therefore, FVTIA focuses on networking with Government and its departments to advocate for the formulation of good policies in attempt to streamline the operations of the member film schools for the development of film training and production in Uganda.
FVTIA undertakes capacity building programs focusing on strengthening the local member film schools’ professional skills, and equipping them with necessary information and technical support to enable them compete effectively in the film industry.
FVTIA as a corporate body created by the film schools in Uganda, focuses on developing and promoting the equitable growth of the film industry through making partnerships and networks with relevant stakeholders in the Film industry (both local and international). FVTIA serves as a fundraising platform for all member film schools.
The Students’ Film Resource Center is one of the major undertakings of FVTIA in an attempt to boost and develop the Film training and production in Uganda. The facility is the first of its kind in Uganda, and will be designed with an on-line film library, film museum, conference room, cinema room, VFX studio, editing suite, sound studio, broadcasting studio, filming studio, and equipment store among others. Besides, the facility will be stocked with the state of art filmmaking equipment to facilitate film training, research, and production.
