A space dedicated to exchange and collaboration
Over ten days, Afronova will bring together leading figures from Africa, its diaspora, and the rest of the world. The objective is to foster exchanges between film professionals, producers, directors, distributors, and investors.
The pavilion positions itself as a strategic platform to encourage international co-productions and to highlight emerging talent from the African continent.
Showcasing African creative industries
Afronova will highlight the richness and diversity of African creative industries through:
