A new current is forming across the continent — quiet but deliberately linking producers, markets, and capital into a powerful creative grid.

Far beyond the usual narratives of underfunding, Africa’s film industries are scaling fast. Filmmakers are not only producing at volume, they’re driving employment, shaping economies, and expanding their reach across borders. With growing investment, regional collaborations, and evolving policy support, a new infrastructure is emerging. One designed to meet global demand with African stories.

As streaming platforms and cinema networks expand across the continent, so does the need for strategic international partnerships, those that can power co-productions, deepen distribution pipelines, and ensure long-term sustainability.

This panel and intimate B2B session invites international buyers, sales agents, and distributors to connect directly with trailblazing producers from Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Uganda. Rather than revisiting challenges, we’ll spotlight bold strategies and real opportunities already reshaping the global reach of African cinema.
