DURBAN–Female-driven narratives and daring portraits of queer culture around the continent were the big winners at this year’s Durban FilmMart , the industry program of the Durban Intl. Film Festival, which handed out awards at a ceremony Monday night at the Southern Sun Maharani Hotel.
“DFM is a place for African filmmakers to forge their own path in this complex industry,” said Monty. “We understood when we first started that the industry was rapidly changing, with new funding and financing models, and new ways of telling stories.” Carthage Film Festival awarded “Pieces of Salma” , produced by Khosie Dali and David Horler and directed by Imran Hamdulay, who will have an opportunity to participate in the Carthage Festival program in Tunisia.
