About the festival

This year's edition of the African Women Film Festival (AWIFF) is not to celebrate women in the industry for simply being “women in the industry”, No! There is an army of excellent, bankable and marketable women doing amazing things for film and with film in Africa. The essence of the festival is to place a spotlight on those filmmakers who put in their all to create breathtaking films; but do not always get the recognition they so rightly deserve. The Kings with crowns that balance on their plaits and braids and Sceptres that stay in their delicate hands. The beautiful women behind the scenes.
The truth is many of these film making “roles” are fast losing their gender identity to become fluid enough that both men and women can flourish in whatever areas they choose to. And so, the impact women have garnered in the industry is rising in momentum; it is as if a charging bull were being geared for release to take over the film sphere. We at AWIFF choose to celebrate this.
Films for, by and about women.
