Afro-filmfest (København)

It’s time to create a platform for Afro-Danes where we can showcase our films in a collective environment. A space where one feels a value and understanding of ones art.

This film fest will be showcasing films made by Afro-Danes and Africans from South Africa, Zambia and Tanzania.

We want to create a space where people of African decent and other nationalities can gather and form a community where we can appreciate our african roots through film.
