Welcome to the Beach House African Short Film Festival! We are excited to announce that the event is going to take place in Lagos, Nigeria every March starting in 2024.The Beach House African Short Film Festival is an annual event that celebrates the work of independent African filmmakers.
The Beach House African Short Film Festival is a celebration of the best of African Cinema and culture. Our mission is twofold: first, to celebrate the work of contemporary African filmmakers and shining a light on their impact post-independence; and second, to provide a platform that will help them grow and continue to create vital work. Our festival will include screenings, panel discussions, pitch deck and workshops with some of the most exciting voices in African cinema.
In conclusion, the Beach House African Short Film Festival is a unique convergence of art, culture, education, and economic development.
