About Us
The Durban FilmMart (DFM) is a joint programme of the Durban Film Office (DFO) and the Durban International Film Festival (DIFF) and will take place in July 2010, in conjunction with the 31st edition of the Durban International Film Festival. Durban FilmMart’s inaugural Finance Forum will provide selected African film-makers with the opportunity to pitch film projects to leading financiers.
The Durban FilmMart will also facilitate networking opportunities in order for African and international filmmakers to form alliances for future collaborations.
The Durban FilmMart aims to:
- Raise the visibility of projects from the African Continent and create networking opportunities with potential co-producers and other industry partners.
- Facilitate funding for promising projects and accelerate financing of participating projects through transnational cooperation.
- Stimulate production of African content and promote international co-production opportunities.
- Encourage project collaboration between African Filmmakers.
- Act as a feeder stage for established co-production markets across the globe.
