The first IDFA Worldview Award was last night presented to South African film The Devil’s Lair directed by Riaan Hendricks and Neil Brandt and Kenyan film Logs of War directed by Anjali Nayar and Hawa Essuman at the Durban Film Festival’s co-production market, Durban FilmMart.

The IDFA Worldview Award is a cooperation between Amsterdam documentary festival IDFA, the IDFA Fund and CBA Worldview from the UK, and is presented to the two most promising documentary projects presented at the Doc Circle Pitch in Durban.

The Doc Circle Pitch ran for the first time in Durban last year, aimed at stimulating the documentary industry in Africa.
