This year’s DFM will take place under the theme, Disrupt! The shape of stories to come, and will interrogate the challenges and opportunities the changes in the film industry represent, while celebrating the new contours of access as online leads the way, as remote working connects us differently and new collaborations emerge.
Speaking about the 2021 DFM, Ms Carol Coetzee the KZN Film Commission CEO, said “The Durban FilmMart’s track record speaks for itself and has provided a platform that acknowledges, encourages and celebrates excellence amongst local and continental filmmakers by giving them the opportunity to gain valuable exposure and well-deserved recognition for their national and global expansion ambitions. The unique networking events create discussions and project promotion that advances growth and expansion of African cinema. We are really excited and eagerly looking forward to this year’s DFM.”
