The FilmMart is pleased to inform that registrations have opened and, to encourage people to register as early as possible, they are offering an early bird discount - meaning a saving of 15% when registering before June 20 2021.
The online event provides engaging webinars, virtual networking, and user-friendly navigation.

Distributors, sales agents, and programmers will have a catalogue of 60 African films that are ready for sale and distribution at their disposal through the online DFM Content Shop. These films have been curated to reflect the unique storytelling of African that is available to the international market.

DFM Conversations is a series of keynote talks with leading content producers working in or with Africa.

The organisers look forward to covering topics like representation in filmmaking, pioneering an African aesthetic, from page to screen, and the future of storytelling.
