Creative Producer Indaba
Creative Producer Indaba (CPI) is a talent development programme that aims to empower Africa’s emerging producers with creative vision and leadership skills.
The programme takes place between the Marrakech International Film Festival’s Atlas Workshops and the IFFR Pro Days, in partnership with the Realness Institute and EAVE.

Who is it for?
The programme is designed for producers working from or with the African continent. This includes:
- Producers (with and without projects) from Africa;
- Producers from outside Africa with an interest in co-producing with Africa. One place is guaranteed for one Brazilian producer due to a partnership with Projeto Paradiso.
- African film professionals from other disciplines such as distribution, international sales, funding bodies, institutions, broadcasters and development executives with a stake in the African marketplace.
