The deadline for short film, documentary and feature fiction film entries for the 2014 Durban International Film Festival (DIFF), including delivery of screeners, is 28 March 2014.

All submissions must have been completed in 2013 or 2014 and entered via the Eventival online system, where first-time entrants will need to create a visitor account.

Peter Machen, festival manager says: We look forward to once again receiving a wealth of top-quality films from around the globe. We also welcome input from and engagement with current and potential partners who support the development of the film industry on the continent. It is through collaboration that we can offer filmmakers and the public a festival of brilliant film and a worthwhile industry development programme.

The 35th DIFF takes place from 17 to 27 July and features 250 screenings of films, a film competition and special screenings in township areas. Movies from around the world take part in the festival though there is a focus on works from South African and Africa.

Highlights include a seminar and workshop programme which features the 7th Durban Talent Campus (19 to 23 July) in collaboration with Berlinale Talent Campus, and the 5th Durban FilmMart (19 to 22 July) in partnership with the Durban Film Office, as well as various other streams of programming including Durban Wild Talk Africa and Wavescape.

A focus on 20 years of democracy in South Africa will theme specific streams of programming and films that explore architecture will be showcased in acknowledgement of the World Congress of Architects which will take place in Durban during the week after DIFF.
