The African Film and Art Festival features films made by filmmakers from Africa and the Africa Diaspora with the aim of introducing the rich culture and creative heritage of Africa to the African and the broader Providence, RI community.

We do not currently present awards at our festivals.

Only films directed by filmmakers from the African continent and its diaspora are eligible for submission. We do not charge filmmakers a fee for submitting their films to allow for maximum accessibility. In return, if a film is chosen, we typically do not pay a screening fee.
