Africa's Film Finance Platform
AFFF connects African film and television projects with the capital, partners and markets they need — year-round, not once a year.
A year-round platform, not a single event
AFFF operates continuously: a curated project marketplace, an accredited investor circle, structured funds, and a physical market and summit each October within Film Week Africa.
Why the platform exists
The missing middle
Most African projects ask for more than grant capital covers and less than institutional funds will write. AFFF is built for that gap.
De-risking as standard
Completion bonds, credit guarantees and gap financing are routine elsewhere. AFFF works to make them available here.
Global positioning
African stories reaching international co-production, distribution and streaming markets on commercial terms.
Policy and industry
Engaging governments, regulators and institutions on the frameworks film finance depends on.
A connected industry
Producers, financiers, studios, distributors and public agencies in one structured environment.
Infrastructure too
Nearly one in six 2025 submissions sought studios, hubs and cinema capacity — not a single title.
