36th Durban International Film Festival Launched Last Thursday
While DIFF is a vital showcase for the ever-expanding African film industry, South African film remains the festival's key focus, with 14 feature and 13 documentary films and 30 short films - most of them receiving their world premieres on Durban screens.
This year's diverse line-up includes an expanded focus on African cinema with a selection of Africa's Lost Classics and a showcase of this year's FESPACO winners. Other focus areas include a cross-section of contemporary cinema from Brazil and an investigation into the film making landscape of a changing Tunisia, as well DIFF Beat, which celebrates a number of music-based films, and Just One Earth, which presents a selection of environmentally- and sustainability themed titles. In addition to the generous selection of feature films and cutting edge documentaries, DIFF 2015 will screen 10 packages of short films and a selection of thrilling surf films in the Wavescape Surf Film Festival.
