SUMMARY:Fame Week Africa
DESCRIPTION:WGSA is heading to DIFF 2026! \nAs part of their industry engagement sessions called the IsiPhethu Programme\, which will feature masterclasses and presentations from public and private sector stakeholders\, organisations and celebrated South African audiovisual storytellers and content creators\, WGSA has been invited to present a masterclass. \nJoin WGSA Council Member Zunaid Mansoor as he presents a hard-hitting session:\nFrom Artificial Intelligence to African Intelligence: Why Writers Matter When A.I. Can Write \nWe’ve all heard the imperatives and have had to contend with them. Evolve or Die. Change or get left behind. It’s here to stay\, accept it. It’s a moving bus; you either get in or get left out etc. These and plenty more are often bandied about with vague\, sweeping\, misguided and reckless understanding of its impact on writers of all kinds\, especially creative (screen)writers. More to the point\, they are propagated without an understanding of its impact on our country’s leading crisis – unemployment. \nJoin Fulbright Scholar Zunaid Mansoor as he helps unpack untold dimensions of the A.I.-screenwriting debate\, drawing professional\, locally relevant insights as a film fund advisor\, script consultant and screenwriting educator with 17 years of devotion to storytelling. \n📅 Tuesday\, 28 July 2026\n🕒 15:00\n📍 Belaire Suites Hotel\, North Beach \nSee you at the Durban International Film Festival!
