The National Film and Video Foundation of South Africa has a mandate to ensure transformation of the sector to address historical inequalities. In order to assess how to impact transformation in the sector, they needed to understand the degree to which transformation was already happening in the sector (in part, because of their existing programmes and investments) and what areas still needed change. We undertook a mapping of the sector, tracking how it had changed in terms of participation of people of colour, women, youth and people with disabilities. Our findings pointed directly to the points in the value chain that had under-representation, but also to the models of investment that best have impact, informing how the NFVF could move forward.
