By MWorld TeamStarTimes has announced the launch of its first edition of the Pan-African Online Film Festival (PAOFF). The festival will be running via StarTimes ON and it will be a quarterly competition where it will be open to all local professional film and music video producers.

Operations director, Startimes ON, Ariel Wang, explained “It is an online age and local online video contents will be an important pillar of StarTimes ON’s content strategy,”
She further added: “That’s why we established the PAOFF awards and we sincerely hope the awards competition will encourage the development of local online video creation and see the rise of African online video industry.”
