DFM in Nantes

On the other hand, the Nantes Produire au Sud workshop 2020 will welcome one film project, which was running the DFM. The producer and director of the film project are offered the opportunity to run the Produire au Sud workshop week along with the others selected film projects.

Furthermore, this year’s partnership is supported by the French Embassy in South Africa, which has been instrumental in finalising the programme and providing financial support for the key experts. The objective is to strengthen the links between France and South Africa in the film industry and create opportunities for professions in both countries.
