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.

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.
