Film Festival

South Africa’s longest-running film festival, the Durban International Film Festival, runs across 12 days towards the end of July, presenting over 250 screenings of current films from around the world, with strong focus on South African and African cinema.

Screenings take place not only at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre but throughout Durban, including township areas where cinemas are non-existent. The festival also runs extensive seminar and workshop programmes to stimulate industry capacity. This Includes the participation of 40 filmmakers from Africa in Talent Campus Durban, a cooperation with the Berlin Film Festival, and the Durban FilmMart, a film financing initiative in partnership with Durban Film Office.  

DIFF is organised by the Centre for Creative Arts (UKZN) (for full schedule see www.cca.ukzn.ac.za).
