Courtesy Durban FilmMart The Durban FilmMart wrapped its 17th edition on Oct. 12 with a boisterous awards ceremony that offered a fitting exclamation point to a four-day event whose rousing turn-out — with more than 1,100 industry delegates in attendance from 56 countries — cemented its position as the leading lynchpin of the African screen industries.
The mood throughout the week was spirited, hopeful and determined — the biggest takeaway being, perhaps, that for all the disruption roiling the global film and TV business, African creatives see this as a moment of opportunity to unlock the continent’s largely untapped potential.
