Township & Rural Film Festival 2024 is dedicated to advancing an enhanced understanding of African culture through the moving image. Our mission is to offer diverse platforms for the wide distribution of African media, with our flagship annual film festival and complementary year-round programming leading the charge.

We are committed to increasing visibility and recognition for African media artists. We strive to introduce African film and culture to a broad range of audiences abroad, bypassing economic, class, and racial barriers.

Through our initiatives, we aim to celebrate the richness and diversity of African storytelling, showcasing the talent and creativity of filmmakers from across the continent. By providing opportunities for African voices to be heard and appreciated, we contribute to a more inclusive and interconnected global cultural landscape.

Join us in our mission to amplify African narratives, promote cross-cultural understanding, and foster a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of African culture through the power of the moving image. Together, we can build bridges of empathy and solidarity that transcend borders and unite us in our shared humanity.
