The sixth edition of the Accra Indie Filmfest (AiF), themed “Africa to the world, the world to Africa,” is scheduled to take place from July 29 to August 3, 2024, in Accra.
The festival will screen 63 short films, selected including documentaries, animation, music videos, student films, narrative films, and digital stories from different countries.
This follows months of thorough examination, and discussions, from a seven-member board, which comprises African filmmakers and critics: Burak Oguz Saguner (Turkey), Ruth Nazzinda (Uganda), Ambrose B. Cooke (Burkina Faso), Omoladun Adenuga (Nigeria), Tony Asankomah (Ghana), and Mpho Ramathuthu (South Africa).
In addition, masterclasses, industry discussions, an art exhibition, an AiF Music Synergy Concert, and an awards gala are among the extra events planned for this year’s festival attendees.
