14th DFM
African Constellation
21 - 24 July 2023
The 2023 Durban FilmMart highlighted the pillars of Africa’s Film Industry, bringing African talent to the fore in one filmic landscape. Like nighttime constellations, we highlighted each glimmering light. We zoomed in to recognise that each star is a world of its own and that each project revealed a unique facet of our diverse and rich continent.
DFM 2023 celebrated the work of African film professionals and industry initiatives, contemplating a vision of a future-forward African star system for current and future stars.
