Why
?
The CBDF Market Summit...
Is held each year as part of the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival (TINFF) in September.
The event was originally created to bring industry stakeholders from "Nollywood" (Nigeria's film hub) across to Canada for the opportunity to collaborate on future projects, network and sell, finance, and promote black films. In less than 5 years, the CBDF Market Summit has grown to a broader diverse group of creatives attracting thousands of people from the USA, Europe, Africa and other parts of the world.
The Canada Black Diversity Film Market Summit is an anticipated platform for filmmakers as an efficient development, acquisition and networking event in tandem with TINFF and most recently BINFF film festivals. This Market Summit provides a solid landscape for film production and distribution deals to be closed.
The goal is to increase film production collaborations and opportunities between Canada, Nollywood and foreign film industries. Thus, giving all sides a significant advantage of being able to network, share resources, cross distribute and promote films related to a part of the audience who come from diverse backgrounds.
