The African Film Festival (TAFF) is excited to announce that it will be hosting its first Festival in Dallas, Texas. Join us July 1-3 for a weekend of cultural exploration, awards and fun!
The Festival will showcase films about Africa and the Diaspora made by filmmakers from all over the world including but not limited to African filmmakers.
The goal is to provide a platform for African films that are otherwise overlooked by the “broader” film festivals, thus creating an opportunity for independent filmmakers to showcase their films and receive feedback from colleagues and independent professionals.
The Festival will include film screenings, interactive workshops and seminars, and an award night to recognize our distinguished filmmakers.
TAFF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that intends to “bridge cultures through films” by inviting a diverse audience to celebrate some of the best films about the African continent.
TAFF will strive to create an avenue for equal distribution of African films on a global scale: TAFF’s goal is to make more African films available at Ivy league universities and public libraries to further the studies of African history and culture.
For more information about the festival or to register as a filmmaker, please check out our website at www.theafricanfilmfestival.org.
Please note that Filmmakers can register to submit a film by March 31, 2016.
