Director of Òlòturé, Kenneth Gyang and Ridwan Moshood, founder of Toon Up Animations will be joining the conversations at this year’s Durban FilmMart (DFM) which takes place in July.
Gyang will join a range of directors like Mahad Mashi (Somalia) and Isaac Nabwana (Uganda), from the continent to highlight their storytelling journeys through the various forms of fiction, and documentaries on the film festival’s Talent Filmmaker Talks initiative.
The festival also announced that it will be introducing a new Animation @ DFM stream which will spotlight the growing influence of animation on the continent. The sessions will allow animators to engage with leading professionals from organisations such as Toon Up (Nigeria), Kugali (Nigeria/Uganda), Na Aap Production (South Africa), Katanimate Studios (South Africa), among others.
