The Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) aims to bring together original storytellers and audiences seeking new voices in cinema. The annual program showcases dramatic films, documentaries, features, and short films, highlighting emerging trends in storytelling and cinematic expression from talents in Africa and the diaspora. Since its inception in 2010, many films launched at the festival have gained critical acclaim and reached new audiences worldwide, including titles like Breath of Life and Funmilayo Ransome Kuti.
This year’s edition of AFRIFF is themed ‘Africans for Africa; Building global bridges,’ which aims to foster valuable exchanges of ideas, production connections, and business relationships that deliver value, build capacity, and create wealth.
