Unlocking your potential through Filming & Photography
To make a film means to be a producer, requiring a combination of the art and techniques of film narration and the tricks of finance.
Being a producer is also about giving adequate answers to questions that underlie the desire and reasons for producing: What to produce? Why? How?
Both objectively and subjectively, these questions determine the entire cultural or commercial vision, the strategy behind any movie or video production. [ says Mr. Henry Nsereko Kiwanuka ]

Why PFA uses Project-based Assessments
Project-based assessments are an alternative to tests that allow students to engage with their learning in more concrete ways. Instead of merely studying theory, a hands-on project asks students to apply what they've learned to an in-depth exploration of a topic. Proline Film Academy uses projects as part of the ongoing learning process or as a capstone assessment in place of a traditional final exam. Project-based assessment is often a component of project-based learning (PBL), in which the entire focus of a course or unit is to teach via student engagement in problem-solving and exploration. Like PBL, project-based assessment is student-centered and requires reflection on both the process and the content to be meaningful.

SOME FACTS AND SERVICES
Youth entrepreneurship is projected to be increasingly relevant in the current contexts of rising unemployment and underemployment, as well as insecure, low-paying, hazardous employment that does not result in liveable wages. Africa has the youngest population in the world with 65 percent constituting people under the age of 35 years. This demography is projected to double by 2045. Africa youth have the potential to be Africa’s biggest challenge or its biggest resource. As a critical resource worth harnessing, the youth are key to the realisation of Africa’s demographic dividend. Demographic dividend is the window of opportunity that opens when the working age population (between 15 and 64 years of age) of a country is larger than the dependant population (below 16 and above 64 years of age).
