Positive projections for film fest

DURBAN’S Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (DGLFF) returns for its eighth year and runs until Sunday, 30 September at select pop-up venues around the city.

“2018 is proving to be a financially challenging year and we found it particularly hard as a cultural event to secure sponsorship. Fortunately, thanks to the invaluable ongoing support of Alliance Française of Durban and venue help from Urban Lime, the DGLFF can confidently screen films this year. This is the first year we won’t be able to screen at our beloved KZNSA gallery, owing to a full exhibition calendar, but we certainly look forward to bringing some films back there next year,” said festival director Jason Fiddler.

Normal screenings are R40 each with 50 per cent concession to students and senior citizens with cards. Silver Festival Passes are R250 and include 10 screenings that are transferrable. Those interested in supporting the Festival and the Ticket Pool can use the Zapper code on display on the DGLFF website or Facebook page to facilitate card payments via the phone app and even make donations to the Festival.

The main Festival Hub venue will be at POP, 344 Florida Road, Berea, a former art gallery space ideal as a pop-up screening venue. Alliance Française will host two weeknights in Morningside. On Friday, 28 September there will be a pop-up ‘T-DANCE’ social fundraiser at the German Club in Westville.
