ANNOUNCING OUR 2024 DURBAN FILMMART WINNER
We are delighted to have found our third annual Whicker DFM Bursary winner. After a vigorously competitive pitch at The Durban Filmmart and incisive one to one meetings with our Editorial Consultant, Jane Mote was proud to announce that this year’s winner of the £3,000 documentary film seed fund is the project We Had The Moon!
We Had The Moon! is a beautiful film which begins with a chance encounter with an elderly lady on a bus. This encounter leads our African filmmaker to start a journey of discovery that has lasted nearly 14 years. Her story unfolds with the help of creative and poetic tools that bring to life a time forgotten that has a powerful influence on the realities of today.
Due to the sensitive nature of the material we are unable to reveal the name of the director or further details of the project at this stage. We feel, however, that this story is one of such urgency and importance that it must be told, and The Whickers are delighted to play a small part in its journey.
