The 44th installment of the Durban Film Festival is set to showcase 90 films from 54 countries around the world. The festival will return to the South Coast CineCentre in Kwa-Zulu Natal after a three-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Presented by the University of KwaZulu Natal’s Centre for Creative Arts, the programme includes highlights such as Banel and Adama, Omen, and The Mother of All Lies, which all premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Andrea Voges, Festival Manager, said: “We are thrilled to bring DIFF back to life this year, allowing audiences to come together to share in these incredibly special stories, feasting on some of the best African and world cinema.”
The sixth edition of isiPhethu which is a developmental programme that includes the isiZulu Scriptwriting Workshop, Industry Programme, and screenings in community centres will also take place.
The second International Student Film Festival will showcase 30 student films from all over the world, at the KwaZulu-Natal Society for the Arts KZNSA.
The festival will take place from 20 July to 30 July.
