On Saturday, 19 July from 09h00 to 10h00, Locations Africa, a showcase and discussion platform on location shooting and film facilitation in Africa, will take place as part of Durban Film Mart - an initiative by the Durban International Film Festival and the Durban Film Office aimed at developing African filmmakers.

Durban Film Office s Toni Monty remarks, We are excited to have Locations Africa participate at the 5th Durban FilmMart. It is a great initiative promoting Africa and all the beautiful locations we have surrounding us. We look forward to their discussions.

Locations Africa will present to professionals in the audio visual arena, the value which Africa offers in terms of filming facilitation. The organizers believe that the platform will not only contribute to increased filming on the continent, but will also improve the ability of those in the private and public sector to meet filmmakers needs, and contribute to building Africa s brand identity.

Following the African Initiatives panel discussion, Locations Africa will join the National Film and Video Foundation for the African in Focus panel , which takes place between 10h00 and 11h00; in an initiative to the engage with the industry and uncover potential opportunities available to producers in Africa.
