Our Mission
The Silicon Valley African Film Festival promotes an understanding and appreciation of Africa and Africans through moving images. Aptly themed “Africa through the African lens”, the film festival celebrates the vast richness of the African Continent through the lenses of Africa’s seasoned and emerging filmmakers and, crucially, provides audiences with exquisite lenses to the real Africa.
In fulfillment of its mission, the Silicon Valley African Film Festival:
- Curates a world-class festival of African films and provides our audience access to the richness, diversity and vitality of Africa’s creative expressions.
- Promotes cultural literacy through post-screening dialogues, community and school outreach so our audiences can engage and interact with African filmmakers on issues of personal, local and global significance.
- Promotes ideas exchange and collaborations between American and African film industry practitioners.
It was one of the best experiences I have ever had, it was a very enlightening and enriching festival. I would definitely recommend this festival for anyone willing to have a deeper image of Africa and Africans in general.”
