DISBOOK - The Africa 2012 Edition - (Page 1)

Fo r ewor d - Disbook AfricA 2012 Welcome to Johannesburg! Africa is Rising According to Charles Kenny, a World Bank development economist, in a not-too-distant future, the world will be watching 24 billion hours of Television a day, an average of four hours for each person. With a billion people - half of them using mobile phones -, large and young populations, digital switchover deadlines approaching fast, foreign investments growing and the rapid adoption of new technologies and social networking tools, Africa’s changing dynamics is fueling these vertiginous numbers. We have already seen, in the last five years, unprecedented changes for multiplatform, television content production and distribution activities. In that time period, and despite the fact that the contours of the world economy underwent transformations that shocked even the most pessimistic observers, throughout Africa, sectors of activity driven by content consumption have been thriving! Serving as the exclusive DISCOP AFRICA show guide, DISBOOK AFRICA is meant to provide its readers with a fresh assessment of the state of Africa’s booming television industry, from the sharp perspective of those who create, produce and distribute content across the Continent. Africa is the new frontier for content consumption, with new TV Stations, new PayTV platforms and new mobile and broadband-based TV services set to roll out in the coming months. It is also a land of future opportunities for regional and international coproduction deals. For instance, French has never been so popular in Anglophone African states, and by 2050, half of the world’s French-speakers will live in Africa! Clearly, Africa is quickly producing content that is far more relevant locally and quickly distributing it across its own borders and beyond. Indeed, we are happy to note that recent international TV consumption trends indicate a fast-growing interest for film and television content created in the African continent. A very special thank you to the City of Johannesburg and the Gauteng Tourism Authority for their warm welcome and their long-standing support of the film and television industries with their world class industry infrastructure, recognized expertise and wide range of locations.
