‘Acts of Man,’ ‘Africa AI,’ ‘We Had the Moon!’ Among Top Prize Winners at Durban FilmMart Award Ceremony
The awards wrapped a spirited week in Durban, where the influential industry event concluded its 15th edition.
As Variety previously announced, the show has already been boarded by Casey Walker of Toronto-based Cave Painting Pictures, veteran Canadian producer Todd Brown (“The Raid,” “Mandy”) and Naysun Alae-Carew at Blazing Griffin in the U.K. “Africa AI,” from Amilcar Patel and Chris Kets, investigates the hidden costs of artificial intelligence for the African continent, from the extraction of its raw natural resources to its effects on labor rights, privacy, equality and ideas of freedom. The project took home four awards, including prizes from South Africa’s National Film and Video Foundation, Swiss doc fest Visions du Réel and Movies That Matter.
