African International Documentary Festival Foundation: Telling Africa’s Story

African International Documentary Festival Foundation produces documentaries, supports community media, and builds platforms for underrepresented voices to be seen, heard, and recognized on a global scale.

AFIDFF leads initiatives such as the World Heritage Volunteers program,  Documentary Box Workshop, Support & Women Empowerment Projects, Visionary Voices Africa, Social Enterprise Project and the Documentary Screening and Competition.

AFIDFF collaborates with UNESCO to engage volunteers in preserving Nigeria’s heritage sites, such as the Sukur Cultural Landscape & Gashaka Gumti National Park. Participants partake in conservation efforts, cultural immersion, and storytelling projects to showcase their significance

Through hands-on workshops and mentorship programs, AFIDFF equips young people with the tools to document realities, promote culture, and advocate for social justice through film and photography.

This program provides mental health support, capacity building, and advocacy for vulnerable groups, using storytelling as a healing and empowering tool.

This platform  Spotlights and highlights Changemakers who are bold African leaders, innovators, and everyday heroes whose stories inspire action and hope across the continent.

This initiative empowers youth and creatives to transform their skills in storytelling, editing, and production into sustainable businesses that serve local communities.

AFIDFF empowers communities to tell their own stories by providing training and resources for documentary filmmaking. These community-led projects shed light on local traditions, challenges, and aspirations, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures.

AFIDFF offers training programs for young individuals in visual documentation, teaching them the art of capturing and conveying stories through film and photography. These initiatives aim to nurture a new wave of storytellers who can authentically represent African narratives.

Our films capture the depth and diversity of African life, from environmental challenges to cultural rites and grassroots development. They’ve been screened at festivals, universities, and community gatherings, connecting local experiences with global audiences.

AFIDFF is more than an organization. It’s a movement to document Africa for Africans and the world's legacy for future generations to inherit and expand.
