We look forward to welcoming you to the 17th Durban FilmMart.  Those attending this year’s edition are set for a series of uncompromising conversations under the theme: Shifting Worlds: Turning Towards Ourselves. Inspired by the words of Ousmane Sembène, who said, “Why be a sunflower and turn toward the sun? I, myself, am the sun.”

Magdalene Reddy
