The Durban International Film Festival is not only a platform for filmmakers from around the world to exhibit and market their film works, but also a platform that is used to network and hopefully fruitful co-productions can be realised.

This platform has introduced me year after year to a caliber of filmmakers, actresses, photographers, press attendees and socialites, but most importantly to women who are active and are stalwarts in the film and television industry. This blog is a tribute to the women filmmakers and those women who are advocating for more women to be involved in the film making industry, whether as a filmmaker or a policy maker. The adventures of this blog will begin in the city of Durban where we will speak to local filmmakers, film festival organisers, policy makers and development programmes creators. All these and more are Sisters In Technicolour.

I have had great opportunities on this filmmaker journey, even though I have not had not made my feature film yet, however I have been introduced to the processes of the industry and I hope that we will be able to share ideas and grow from strength to strength as women who have a voice in this industry.

Please note that I am not advocating for a feminist arena, but a platform where issues pertaining to women in the industry are addressed.

Your Sister In Technicolour
