Cannes 2025 is now underway, with African and diaspora titles gaining visibility across Competition, Un Certain Regard, La Cinef, and the Shorts program.
But beyond the red carpet:
– Who’s funding these films, and who owns them after
– What platforms like Pavillon Afriques, AfroCannes, and African House are building
– Whether African delegations are showing up with purpose or just presence
– And why “My Father’s Shadow” marks a real milestone for Nigeria beyond the headlines
Akoroko is on the ground, covering both the films and the systems behind them.
