Cascade Festival Of African Films

The Cascade Festival of African Films is the longest-running annual, non-profit, non-commercial, largely volunteer-run African Film Festival in the United States. Our African film festival shows you Africa through the eyes of Africans, rather than a vision of Africa packaged for Western viewers. The films celebrate Africa’s achievements, expose its failures, and reveal possibilities for a hopeful future. Our festival hopes to encourage American viewers to become curious to enrich their lens of African cultures.
