At the heart of DM is collaboration. We organise and help curate multiple events such as screenings, exhibitions and talks with numerous individuals and organisations. Our experienced creative team has a passion for facilitating ideas, connecting artists and bringing the right audiences to experience them. If you have an idea for an event, a partnership or just want to get involved with the festival, we would love to hear from you.
