21 ICONS - Anant Singh
Anant Singh - “My view on what makes a good movie and what makes a successful movie is something that is fresh. Something that is interesting, that you can give audiences an experience that hopefully they can come out of it having enjoyed something, whether it’s commercial or artistic, either of those parameters, to give them something that is new.”
This week 21 ICONS South Africa shines the spotlight on the fifteenth icon of its second season: Anant Singh, South Africa’s preeminent film producer with a passion for film, is a visionary producer and a pioneer in the film making industry. As one of the country’s leading filmmakers, he’s produced more than 75 films, including the acclaimed Long Walk to Freedom, and is a true movie-making entrepreneur. In an intimate conversation, Singh talks about his life as a film producer. Captivated by the moving image at the tender age of eight, Singh believed that the silent movies of Charlie Chaplain, Buster Keaton and Laurel and Hardy were truly magical and inspired his love for film.
