Welcome to the Beach House Short Film Festival! We are excited to announce that the event is going to take place in Lagos, Nigeria every March. The Beach House Short Film Festival is an annual event that celebrates the work of independent African filmmakers.
The Beach House Short Film Festival is a celebration of the best of world Cinema and culture. Our mission is twofold: first, to celebrate the work of contemporary 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 Short Film Festival is a unique convergence of art, culture, education, and economic development. It represents an opportunity to celebrate Africa's film industry, promote African culture, and contribute to the continent's growth and development. Above all, it stands as a tribute to unique stories, powerfully told through the transformative medium of film.
