# The fifth edition of FAME Week Africa officially kicked off at the Cape Town International Convention Centre yesterday. From its modest start with three-thousand attendees during Covid-19 restrictions, it has grown significantly with nearly seven-thousand delegates this year. Mayoral committee member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, says this year the metro has partnered with students from AFDA, the Animation School, Film School Africa, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, University of Cape Town and the SAE Institute, whose films are being showcased at the pop-up cinema.
