Description of Work:

 

 

African Film Development Foundation was established in May 2012 inresponse to the need to promote ventures by Africans in the Film Industry; and support stakeholders and organizations that make the films. The motivation was spawned by the lack of accessible funding and resource structure that should help the African filmmaker realize true African stories from Africa’s perspective. It will be a convergence of education, skills and arenas to expose the talented, budding and seasoned Africans in the business of film.African Film Development Foundation through its project The African Film Consortium will also enable a global collection and exhibition of African films in all genres at events and special seasons to create dynamism for African film business by engaging various and diverse audiences throughout and beyond Africa.
