FILMMART : NEWS

Cape Town & Winelands International Film Festival, (CTWIFF) a festival celebrating the best in African and international film, has re-branded itself and increased its offering to the industry.

Now in its 6th Year CTWIFF celebrates its expanded role in the film and industry with the launch of the inaugural Cape Town Filmmart (CTFM).

Our Vision: The Cape Town FilmMart is the place where South Africa and its Co-production treaty countries meet in order to accelerate film co-production on the continent.

Our Mission: To create a platform for South Africans, its eight co-production treaty country's producers, and the film world to meet and foster projects that become the economic drivers behind the development of new film and media, including feature film, documentary features as well as TV and TV series and TV formats. Projects with transmedia¹ and new game elements are included.

Producer / director teams are welcome to apply. Projects must have a producer and director attached.

South African projects may apply, advantaged projects are those who are looking for co-production partners or finance from one or more of the South African eight co-production treaty countries which are: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, and United Kingdom. Eligible South African treaty countries’ projects that are looking for partners in South Africa will also be considered. The Cape Town FilmMart will also look at other African production countries’ projects but they must have a South African, or a South African treaty country producer formally attached to be considered.
