Our mission

AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL ATLANTA (AFFATL) is a signature event of the African Film & Arts Foundation Inc, a non-profit media arts organization whose mission is to magnify and celebrate the visions, voices, lives and stories of people from Africa and the African Diaspora.

The goal of AFFATL is to be part of the conversation as well as provide action-driven input in improving the image of the continent through the showcase of films that change the narrative of people of African descent. By integrating with Atlanta’s unique features, as a dynamic social, educational, artistic, cultural and film production hub, AFFATL’s goal is to showcase passions, subtleties and trends in African cinema.
