Film opportunity knocks in Durban-SA

Durban, South Africa will be the destiny for young African filmmakers, directors, producer, screenwriters, animators, cinematographers, sound editors, or anybody involved in just about anything related to filmmaking.The Durban International Film Festival takes place for 12 days at the end of July and will showcase nearly 300 international films. African and South African films will be given special attention and people from all parts of society are encouraged to enjoy the shows, which is why there will also be screenings in townships where amenities like cinemas are non-existent.The Talent Campus is part of the festival’s seminar and workshop programme.
