A first-ever Brazilian Film Workshop in Namibia took place in Windhoek and saw the participation of more than 40 people. The two-day film workshop was conducted by Brazilian directors Tizuka Yamasaki and Emanoel Freitas.

Films have the power to shape a narrative, retell history, or simply bring to life an idea that existed only in the mind of a filmmaker.

The two-day workshop by Tizuka Yamasaki, a renowned film director, and Emanoel Freitas, a producer from Brazil, was an insightful exercise that was appreciated by aspiring students and film makers.

The film workshop touched on a wide variety of topics, including basic production techniques, the role of a director, marketing, and distribution.

Participants ambitions in the film industry were rejuvenated.

The two-day film workshop was made possible by the Brazilian Embassy in collaboration with the Namibia Film Commission.

There are talks of future collaboration between experts from both countries in the film industry.
