The filmmakers have done the first part: the 2026 submission window for the Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival is now closed. The next investment belongs to audiences and supporters preparing for October 16–18.
AAFF combines global online access with an in-person Gala and Awards gathering in Accra. Its 2026 theme, Kemet for the Kemetyu: At Home and Abroad, centers works concerned with return, resistance, reclamation, and rebuilding.
Supporting Black cinema means more than buying access to a screening. It means sharing official information, bringing other viewers, discussing the work, buying from Black-controlled platforms, and helping filmmakers connect with institutions that can sustain their next production.
Follow AAFF’s official updates and prepare for October 16–18. You can also explore Abibidwam for the books, courses, media, and products that strengthen the wider ecosystem behind the screen.
