Here is how we celebrated our Heritage Day at the Cortex Hub this weekend. We hosted an event for the Heritage Documentary Screening showcasing our culture, attire, cuisine & traditional food.

The Virtual Film Seminar hosted by ECDC - Eastern Cape Development Corporation and the River State Tourism Development Agency.

We're excited to learn about the Trade Relations between South Africa which seek to impact the creative community to strengthen the legacy and invest in each other's platforms.

We invited our Colleagues at NEMISA to help us train our local champions in basic camera work. The story of their triumphant victory at the ABC MOTSEPE SCHOOLS CHORAL EISTEDDFOD(SASCE) 2022 will be told by them for future generations of Duncan Village to reflect on the history they have written.

Thanks to all those who have been supporting our Women's Month Campaign so far, we are still 10 days away from concluding this run and are still open for contributions to the School's Wishlist.

Exciting times earlier today when we hosted our colleagues from Nemisa who are visiting us to do some training activities over the weekend.

NEMISA offers programs aimed at advancing digital skills for South Africa's future. From the next month The EC Film Hub filmmakers will be onboarding training sessions to upskill in some of the latest digital & interactive media skills.
