IT'S BLACK SAILS TO THE WIND IN THE KWAAI CITY OF CAPE TOWN - A SNEAK PEEK BEHIND THE SCENES

Have you ever wondered what on earth the huge, land-locked sailing ships are doing so far from the sea, next to the N2 highway, before the turn-off to Stellenbosch? They are located within the awesome Cape Town Film Studios complex and are part of an international television series called Black Sails produced by Starz Films and serviced by Film Afrika.
Kwaai City & our F.I.L.M. trainees, interns and graduates were honored and INCREDIBLY privileged to interview Black Sails Producer Chris Symes and world renowned Art Director and Production Designer, Wolf Kroeger and to get an inside track on this massive, global production.
All credit to Starz Films & the local team, Film Afrika and the truly incredible, talented, professional crews, interns and trainees and the local cast who have helped to make this a reality.
The F.I.L.M. programme (www.filmsa.co.za ) is also hugely privileged to have trainees on this really amazing production.
And it's all happening right here in the Kwaai City of Cape Town
KWAAI CITY is conceived, directed and produced by an enterprising team of interns on the Film Industry Learner Mentorship or F.I.L.M. programme (www.filmsa.co.za ; Facebook: Just-call-us-F.I.L.M.), an accredited, not-for-profit skills programme, guaranteeing aspiring, disadvantaged `filmpreneurs' full industry involvement in training and hands-on experiential learning and mentorship, on local and international film, commercial, television, mobile web & internet productions
.KWAAI CITY is a web-based programme featuring `What's Hot' - and by omission - `What's Not' in the Kwaai City of Cape Town, a seriously stylish, cosmopolitan residential and tourist hub at the Southern tip of Africa. Piggy-back on our production value and embed it on your site!
KWAAI CITY celebrates the City of Cape Town -- at 34º south 18º east -- undoubtedly the latitude with attitude. According to the UK's Daily Express, Cape Town -- voted one of the Top 10 Tourist Cities in the world - is `where it is all happening on the African continent.'
A magical setting in the majestic embrace of Table Mountain, offering cutting-edge conveniences, Cape Town is a global magnet of ready-made activity and entertainment -- people meeting, eating and chilling at one of Cape Town's premier entertainment events or venues, uber-trendy eateries, cafes, bistros, rustic restaurants, boutiques on mountains and beaches. Chances are KWAAI CITY is in the area.
KWAAI CITY covers `hip-and-happening' events in and around Cape Town. We also regularly feature much of what makes Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula one of the most desirable residential and tourism destinations in the world.
