Video Documentary
Multimedia Film/Video Training Project (MUFIP): is the first video documentary production training project (in Kwa Zulu-Natal) run at a community level, which provides real video production and screen-writing skills.
 MUFIP started in 1999 through funding from the London-based K-CAP patron Janine Ulfane. MUFIP is aimed at job creation prospects in the competitive film/video/TV industry and thus focuses on technical and behind-the-scenes practical skills training. There are regular group intakes of ten trainees many of who have been participating in the MUFIP intensive course since 1999.

The Communications Industry has not yet developed a successful structure of selecting young creative people from previously disadvantaged communities and exposing them to career opportunities within creative fields. The benefits of building such structures are many.
Historically the Communications Industry has been open to only a few in our country, we need to embrace the young vibrant creative talents and make these career avenues open to them.
