For Filmmakers
Discover the perfect opportunities to elevate your career. From funding and labs to festival premieres, Afro-Circuit is your essential resource for getting your work seen and made.
Stop Wasting Submission Fees on the Wrong Festivals
Are you tired of spending your budget submitting to mainstream festivals where your work is just one of thousands? Stop competing for a slot at events that don't specialize in your story. Your film deserves more than to be lost in a crowded sea of general submissions. You need a circuit that understands your voice, your context, and your audience, connecting you directly with curators who are actively searching for your films.
