Highlighting the brightest stars in the
African filmmaking constellation

21 – 24 July 2023
Durban Filmmart 2023
This year’s DFM returns to a full physical programme while retaining some online presence. Instead of live streaming, the event will be recorded and become available as video on demand (VOD) a day later. The 2023 Durban FilmMart will continue to champion independent films, while also looking to include commercial film industry role players.







Plus, programme streams such as:
Be seen, be heard, be celebrated.
The DFM 2023 programme includes diverse voices across a variety of backgrounds and identities. To be truly Pan-African we must speak not only to those on the continent, but also to those from the diaspora. This year’s industry programme, project selection and developmental programmes will ensure diversity and inclusion at the core.
