Bringing together film practitioners from the continent and beyond, the panel explores innovative funding models, co-production strategies, and market development initiatives transforming African cinema. This forward-looking discussion positions African cinema not as an emerging market, but as a dynamic, economically viable industry ready for sustained global engagement and growth, in a continent where differences in infrastructure, culture and work methodologies are not seen as a challenge but a space for dynamic and new ways of thinking. This panel will explore infrastructure development and partnership frameworks creating economically viable, culturally authentic filmmaking environments across the continent.
Speakers: Yannick Mizero Kabano (Imitana Productions), Neigeme Glasgow-Maeda (NGM productions), Ema Edosio-Deelen (Citygates Film Production), Tshepiso Chikapa-Phiri (Known Associates Entertainment)
Moderated by Mitchell Harper (Locarno Film Festival)
