The 2018 Cape Town International Film Market and Festival (CTIFMF) will take place from October 9th – 19th, 2018. This year’s edition will build significantly on the successes of last year with an increased focus on collaboration and the celebration of the local, regional, pan-African, and international film industries. Through various collaborations we will be supporting colleagues, promoting our own stories, and finding innovative solutions together, creating an enabling environment for growth and development for filmmakers across Africa.
The CTIFMF through a variety of programs that will be announced in the upcoming months will be the pivot on which we will endeavour to exponentially grow the distribution of African content across the world. Having set itself the goal of leading the transformation of the film industry in Africa, the CTIFMF is excited to announce the first and most fundamental stepping stone to achieving this goal: the official opening of the call for film submissions for the CTIFMF 2018.
Filmmakers from all over the world are invited to submit their films in the following categories:  feature films, documentary, animation and short films. We especially encourage producers, directors and scriptwriters from South Africa and Africa who are creating local/African content to submit high-quality entries into the competition.This year’s CTIFMF will present an exciting and diverse array of quality films that showcase the immense talent of filmmakers from Africa and the rest of the world.
