Africa Film Finance Forum 2025 in Lagos Aims to Boost $20B Industry Growth

The Africa Film Finance Forum (AFFF) 2025 has kicked off in Lagos with the goal of unlocking Africa's $20 billion film industry. The forum brings together filmmakers, investors, policymakers, financiers, distributors, and tech innovators to catalyze the growth of the film economy.

AFFF aims to transform Africa's rich storytelling heritage into a globally competitive industry by creating actionable strategies to connect creative talent with the financial system, policy frameworks, and technological innovations. The forum, led by Convener Mary, seeks to bridge creativity and capital to ensure African stories fuel wealth creation and global influence.

The event offers training modules, mentorship, and networking opportunities for emerging Nigerian and African creative talents, sponsored by NNPC Foundation's Youth Empowerment Programme (YEP).
