For film industry stakeholders, LOCATIONS AFRICA provides an invaluable INFORMATION EXCHANGE, offering local knowledge, skills, networks and experience, to unlock resources and enhance research into filming on the continent. In particular, the show allows filmmakers to scout locations, gather vital production information and meet key industry decision makers – including Film Commissions, production service companies, film sector organizations, independent finance companies, crew, talent and equipment companies – in whichever African country or city they are considering for your production. LOCATIONS AFRICA removes the uncertainty from planning and helps move your film into production.
To stimulate future production, The Locations Africa Event hosts a unique AFRICAN CONTENT SHOWCASE. This conference sources some of the books, films, theatre plays, news events and cultural heritage that offer potential adaptation opportunities for the international market. This will be supported by a range of events and activities designed to support increased value for African content.
