About Us

Africa Film Society seeks to preserve and promote Africa's rich cinematic legacy while cultivating new filmmakers and nurturing an audience for their work. 

Our mission is to EMPOWER, EDUCATE and ENCOURAGE the art of filmmaking on the African continent and the larger Diaspora. Our newly opened 40 Seat Theater, Film Library and Exhibition Space will be a hub for filmmakers and cinephiles.

Through our Classics In The Park initiative, we are bringing free outdoor cinema to communities focusing on early African films (1950 - 1980). We intend to acquire, restore and redistribute these films from their original reels in order to introduce them to a new generation.

Africa Film Society is founded by Ghanaian Filmmaker Blitz Bazawule in 2016 and headquartered in Accra.
