DURBAN
INTERNATIONAL
FILM FESTIVAL

In addition to Amnesty International Durban’s Human Rights Award and the Audience Choice Award, jurors award eight prizes, at the festival closing night.

DIFF upholds Freedom of Expression and Freedom of Creativity as guaranteed in Section 16 of the South African Constitution. The festival recognizes that artists may sometimes live and work in States whose values may not always be in accordance with the values of the South African Constitution, but the Centre for Creative Arts commits to protect and advance the rights of any artist who freely chooses to participate in the Centre’s festivals where their voices and artistic expressions can contribute to building a better world for all people.
