I was lucky enough to be asked to volunteer for the Encounters Documentary Film Festival, this experience changed my life, in which I continued to volunteer for many other festivals over my tertiary phase at the University of Johannesburg. After graduating I began an internship at Media 24 which required me to drop out of my course. I returned to complete my Btech in Multimedia 2015 and then completed my BA qualification in Film and Television in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directed byBongani Ndaba Country of OriginSouth Africa Runtime 1:00 Claire comes to turns with the passing of her grandmother, an artist in her own right, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2608,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2736","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2736"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2736\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2959,"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2736\/revisions\/2959"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africansmartphonefilmfest.com\/African-Smartphone-International-Film-Festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
