African Presence at Cannes 2025—Day 7 (Akoroko on the Ground)

Four new dispatches:

📌 ONE – My Father’s Shadow (Review): The first Nigerian film in Cannes’ Official Selection. A hybrid memory of fatherhood, Lagos in 1993, and the absence that shapes it all.

📌 TWO – Six Hours of Informal Conversations: Ground-level intel from African and diaspora film industry professionals at Cannes—burnout and gaps in the ecosystem.

📌 THREE – International Film Financing Market: What global financing models prioritize, and where African producers stand in systems not designed with them in mind.

📌 FOUR – La Petite Dernière (Review): Hafsia Herzi adapts Fatima Daas’s novel into a tender, unsentimental story of a French-Algerian, queer, Muslim teen navigating love, faith, and family in Paris.

🎧 Audio versions available for each dispatch.

Localized pricing is now live in Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Jamaica.
