The Africa Film Finance Forum (AFFF) is the continent’s leading marketplace for investment in film and creative content, where global capital connects directly with Africa’s top storytellers, studios, and policymakers.
Now in its flagship edition, AFFF Summit 2025 will take place in Lagos, Nigeria, from September 16–18 2025, positioning the city as a key hub in the global creative economy.
