South Africa has been selected as the “Country in Focus” for the upcoming edition of the Berlinale European Film Market (EFM).
The news was revealed while the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) attended the 79th Cannes Film Festival in France.
In 2025, Gayton McKenzie blocked the NFVF from travelling to the 78th Cannes Film Festival and ordered the organisation to remain within its mandate, which stipulates that 75% of the NFVF's overall budget must be spent on making and funding films and content.
However, this year, the NFVF seems to have been greenlit to attend.
