BigFish's new Cape Town campus has 40 students after the South African film school expands to the Mother City.

A new film school has opened in Cape Town, BigFish School of Digital Filmmaking, which is a Cape Town branch of the established Johannesburg film school that opened its doors in 2003.

Cape Town now has its own BigFish in the bustling Greenpoint building, The Foundry and classes have been running since May.

''Students come from different backgrounds,'' says dr Melanie Chait, CEO. BigFish currently has 40 Cape Town students and 90 in Johannesburg.
