Film Africa is the Royal African Society’s annual festival celebrating the best African cinema from across the continent. Now in its fifth year, the festival has become a key platform for African cinema in London and the UK.

This will be accompanied by a vibrant series of events, including director Q&As, talks and discussions; professional workshops and master classes; school screenings and family activities; The Industry Forum; and Film Africa LIVE! music nights.
Film Africa 2014 presented a wide-ranging programme with 85 films from across 23 different African countries, including 44 features, 41 shorts and 56 premieres. We hosted 20 visiting filmmakers and talent from the continent and the diaspora and another 20 industry experts and guest contributors.
2014 programme highlights included South Africa @ 20: The Freedom Tour, which celebrating 20 years of democracy in South Africa; Algerian Cinema: Towards a New Wave, marking the 60th anniversary of the Algerian Revolution; New Lusophone African Cinema, which included four major new titles to emerge from the often overlooked Portuguese-speaking African countries of Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau; and our Opening and Closing Gala screenings:’The Narrow Frame of Midnight’, a poetic drama from first-time director Tala Hadid, and Abderrahmane Sissako’s Oscar-nominated tour-de-force,’Timbuktu’.
