Applications are now open for the 6th edition of Talent Campus Durban, which will take place from July 19-23, 2013, during the 34th Durban International Film Festival (July 18-28, 2013).

The Talent Campus Durban seeks to provide selected participants with an opportunity to meet with international industry professionals and experts in various aspects of the filmmaking business through participations in a 5-day programme of masterclasses, workshops and industry networking events.
In 2013, the Talent Campus Durban will focus on the theme “Memetic Africa”: The continent of Africa is a source of myriad narratives which offer possibilities to be re-imagined, re-told, overlapped and adapted within numerous contexts.
As in the previous year, the Talent Campus Durban will again include the Talent Press, a mentoring programme for African film critics which operates in collaboration with FIPRESCI and Goethe Institut.
The five-day programme also includes the 3rd edition of Doc Station, where three selected documentary projects submitted by accepted talents will be finessed and packaged for presentation within the DOC Circle pitching forum at the 6th Durban FilmMart.
