You do not need an elaborate system to keep a film festival from dissolving into memory. Four pages in a notebook are enough to begin.
The Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival 2026 features online screenings October 16–17, followed by the awards ceremony on October 17 in the evening at the Exhibition Hall, National Theatre, Accra. Label four pages: images I must remember; questions about power; creators to follow; actions to take. Add to them during every screening and conversation.
Afterward, use the notes to build a reading list, support Black-controlled work, organize a discussion, and contact people whose practice should continue.
Follow official AAFF updates and continue your study through Abibidwam.
