The 2024 edition of the DFM will spotlight key elements within the film industry that include social responsibility and accountability in filmmaking, IP protection, artist/filmmaker rights, labour issues, and much more.
Disruption. Responsibility. Accountability.
The DFM 2024 programme includes diverse voices across a variety of backgrounds and identities. To be truly Pan-African we must speak not only to those on the Continent but also to those from the diaspora and the global south. This year’s industry programme, project selection, and developmental programmes will ensure diversity and inclusion at the core.
