The Cambridge African Film Festival is the longest-running African film festival in the United Kingdom.

 

Initiated in May 2002 by a small group of graduate students at the University of Cambridge with the aim to screen the best contemporary African films - providing a UK audience for African filmmakers, increasing knowledge and awareness of African and black culture in the country, and thereby offering an important counterbalance to the Western stereotypical view of Africa.

​

Fondly referred to as 'CAFF', the Festival is sustained each year by dedicated volunteers and a Board whose expertise is far reaching.
