Realness 2018

The Realness Scriptwriters' Residency programme which seeks to nurture the best African screenwriting talent across the world, opens its submissions

This will be followed by an immersive industry experience at Africa's leading finance and co-production market, Durban FilmMart, which is a platform where Residents will have an opportunity to present to their projects to potential producers and financiers. Finally, the most promising projects will be awarded and funded to participate in the prestigious La Fabrique Cinéma de l'Institut français in Cannes, receive an EAVE Producers' Workshop Scholarship, invitation to TorinoFilmLab Meetings Event and Locarno Filmmakers Academy.
