Celebrating Our Youth Filmmakers
Published: 18 June 2025
Dear Film Lovers,
As we prepare to ignite the flame of storytelling at the Mbawula Youth Festival from 6th to 9th August 2025, we take this moment to celebrate and honour the incredible young filmmakers whose voices, visions, and creativity are shaping the future of African cinema.
Your contribution to this year’s festival is not just a film — it’s a bold statement, a mirror to society, and a spark of inspiration for generations to come. Thank you for trusting us with your stories and for using your art to reflect the realities, dreams, and resilience of our communities.
As we wrap up Youth Month, we salute your courage, your craft, and your commitment to storytelling. The future of film is in good hands — yours.
Let the flame burn brighter.
