WIF Los Angeles (WIF LA) and WIFT Africa (Women in Film and TV Africa) have united to bring a delegation of women creatives from 10 African countries to the Cannes Film Festival.

In a historic first, WIFT Africa will be represented at Cannes with an official booth in the Marché du Film, where attendees can meet with the delegation and learn more about the women leading film and entertainment across the African continent. Beyond impact, this provides opportunity: Africa’s creative economy is one of the fastest-growing in the world, and women are at its center. By building the infrastructure, visibility and global connections that African women filmmakers need to succeed, WIF LA and WIFT Africa are accelerating both cultural diplomacy and an equitable, sustainable industry for generations to come.
