The Association for Transformation in Film and Television (ATFT) was launched in South Africa in 2013 to provide a platform for individuals who are traditionally underrepresented, such as black and female filmmakers and people with disabilities in the industry.
For the first time, and organised by ATFT, a South African delegation of filmmakers will have a presence at Berlin’s European Film Market (EFM).
Led by Dutch Indies’ chairman Hans Boscher and industry veteran Fred de Haas, ATFT held structured export market readiness workshops in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Nelson Mandela Bay (Port Elizabeth) to prepare potential delegates for Berlin’s EFM.
The film market takes place from 6 to 14 February.
