We are building
Dialogue
across borders.

Five days in Addis sparked a network of 23 young creators from 21 countries across 3 continents. The forum ended. The movement didn't.

Who we are

A creative movement — not a one-week event.

ACFF is a network of 23 young creators working across film, photography, theatre, music and the visual arts — from Africa, Latin America and Europe. We came together in Addis Ababa in June 2026 at the AfriCreative Future Forum, convened by UNESCO, the African Union, UNECA and OIF under the theme of promoting peace, social cohesion and unity in the AI era.

Five days of creation, conversation and collaboration in Addis became the start of something the cameras don't show: cross-border projects, shared creative practice, and a generation refusing to wait for permission.
