The Cambridge African Film Festival team are busy getting the 2016 festival programme prepared. Excitingly, we are delighted to announce that we will be joining forces with the Cambridge Film Festival for our 15th anniversary, and will be included in their extensive programme of film offering to the Cambridge community between 20th - 27th October 2016. Furthermore, we will once again be collaborating with the infamous Festival of Ideas, bringing free screenings to the city in October.
We are now welcoming film submissions.
Filmmakers and directors are encouraged to contact CAFF by email ([email protected]) in order to submit their film free-of-charge. Instructions will be given out on an individual basis and films can be submitted up until 20th July 2016. Those wishing to submit a DVD, instead of online screener, are welcome to do so though encouraged to get in touch as soon as possible to allow plenty time for the film to be received and viewed.
