The KwaZulu-Natal Film Commission (KZNFC) will be at the Cannes International Film Festival from 11 to 22 May 2016. The KZNFC team is once again delighted to take with them a delegation of four filmmakers from KwaZulu-Natal.

In 2015, the KZNFC took with them a delegation of five filmmakers who had the opportunity to attend the festival and today one of those film makers is in advance talks of co-production with an Irish Production Company.

The KZNFC has a mandate to grow and transform the KwaZulu-Natal film industry and platforms such as the Cannes International Film Festival are forums identified as enabling environments for filmmakers from KwaZulu-Natal. The exclusive Producers Network, a programme within the Cannes March du Film is a platform where there will be spotlight on KwaZulu-Natal. The commission has identified four producers who will be profiled as part of the spotlight during the network. South Africa is the first country in Africa to be given an opportunity to be part of the spotlight.

The KZNFC is also excited to announce the partnership with the Directors Fortnight Programme, an official programme of the Cannes Film Festival. This year the Fortnight will have an African Cannes Film Factory which will debut four short films produced by four South African Film Makers, three of whom are KwaZulu-Natal born. These films have been produced in collaboration with four international directors. The four short films were all shot on location in KwaZulu-Natal specifically Durban. Positioning the province as a globally competitive film destination continues to be at the centre of what KZNFC does.
