The Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC) has is beginning this year’s edition of its film training series for film, television and media practitioners with the first set of seventy (70) trainees from across the six geopolitical zones of the country.
The week long training begins in Jos, Plateau State on Monday, at the National Film Institute, Jos.
Brian Etuk, NFC’S Head of Public & Intergovernmental Affairs, in a release said that other participants are drawn from relevant MDA’s as well as film and television stations, production studios and companies.
He said the training is intended to provide opportunities for practitioners to horn their skills as well as up their professional competencies, adding that, “Trainees are expected to apply new skills to be learnt and improve on their film and television productions.
The release also said the training workshop is part of NFC’s response to the skills gap analysis of the Nigerian film industry. It also fits into one of the core mandates of the NFC of providing training and capacity building for film and television practitioners.
“The training workshop will offer opportunities for film/television and communication specialists/practitioners to perfectly fit into emerging global trends and best practices as a result of digital revolution,” NFC’s spokesman said.
NFC, through the series of training workshops designed for the year, some of which will be in partnership with State Governments, other Federal Agencies and Foreign Embassies in Nigeria, is demonstrating its commitment to continuously provide training opportunities that will ultimately lead to domestic and international consistency in capacity and manpower development for film and television production.
