The New Cape Town FilmMart Launched The Cape Town and Winelands International Film Festival launched the Cape Town FilmMart in Cannes recently with the objective of bringing local producers together with potential partners and financiers from South Africa’s coproduction partners: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The inaugural Cape Town Film Mart will run 4- 6 November 2013 in Cape Town. Since South Africa is shortly to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kenya, Kenya and other countries that have MOUs with South Africa will also be entitled to participate. A maximum of 25 projects will be chosen to participate in the market. Producer/director teams are welcome to apply. Projects must have details of the producer and director attached to it. Those applying from outside South Africa must have a South African or South African treaty country formally attached. At least some part of every film coming through the Film Mart must be shot in South Africa. "The projects can be at any stage but a finance plan must be included and a one page motivation must be given as to why this project needs South African partnership," commented Leon van der Merwe, festival director at the CTWIFF. "A director must be attached as well as a production company and some part of the finance through the producer or co-producer must have been attached to the project." The Film Mart is offering flights and accommodation for those chosen to participate. The new event will embrace features, docs, TV projects, Animation and also transmedia and gaming projects.
