    Production notes AYANDA The National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) In association with Africa Magic and The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Present A film by Sara Blecher A Leading Lady Productions Production Starring FULU MUGOVHANI, OC UKEJE, NTHATI MOSHESH, KENNETH NKOSI, THOMAS GUMEDE, JAFTA MAMABOLO, SIHLE XABA and VANESSA COOKE Writer TRISH MALONE Director of Photography JONATHAN KOVEL Editor NICHOLAS COSTARAS Music Composer TIAGO CORREIA-PAULO Executive Producer SARA BLECHER Produced by ROBBIE THORPE TERRY PHETO BUSI SIZANI P a g e 2 | 24 SYNOPSES SHORT SYNOPSIS In a vibrant and diverse Johannesburg community, 21-year-old Afro-hipster Ayanda has a knack for taking neglected pieces of furniture and “bringing them back to love”. Eight years after her father’s death, she is determined to revive his prized garage business, which is in deep debt and in danger of being sold. The film crackles with infectious energy and style, capturing a vividly contemporary view of South Africa. Inspired by the possibilities of a modern African aesthetic AYANDA explores the core theme of how we let go of the things and people we love. MEDIUM SYNOPSIS A community vibrant with African migrants from across the continent, searching for something better, spliced between South African’s indigenous, multi-cultured stalwarts, Yeoville has conceived its own set of rules to survive. Occasionally legal. Often – not. Set in this district, AYANDA is a coming-of-age story of a twenty-one year old Afro-hipster, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery when she's thrown into a world of greasy overalls, gender stereotypes and abandoned vintage cars once loved, now in need of a young woman’s re- inventive touch to bring them back to life again.

This research investigates how advances in digital technology are enhancing the aesthetic and narratives of screen content producers in Nigeria in their effort to become relevant in the global marketplace. This thesis will discuss key aspects of digital storytelling in the industry by examining the processes and strategies of ‘new generation’ filmmakers in Nigeria. It will also look at how digital exhibition is reviving the screening of Nigerian films in Multiplex Cinemas using digital projectors with encryption technology, and in what way emerging business models are eliminating the distribution of cheap, easy to copy DVDs – that have plagued the industry – with Nigerian owned digital online platforms such as IROKO TV, and Afrinolly, which are now providing inexpensive and easy access to a vast global audience.
