Experience the Best of Cinema at African Short Film Market Film Festival
The African Short Film Market (ASFM) is proudly funded by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), a key institution under the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture in South Africa. The NFVF’s support underscores its commitment to nurturing local talent, developing the film industry, and promoting diverse South African stories on a global stage. Through this funding, the ASFM is empowered to create a dynamic platform for emerging and established filmmakers, enabling access to resources, industry networks, and market opportunities that are essential for growth. This investment also ensures inclusive participation, skills development, and the promotion of historically disadvantaged voices within the African film landscape.
