Cambridge African Film Festival

Friday 21st till Tuesday 27th October 2016

The Cambridge African Film Festival (CAFF) is the longest running festival of its kind in the United Kingdom and this year celebrating its 15th anniversary, CAFF is partnering with the renowned Cambridge Film Festival and the prestigious University of Cambridge’s Festival of Ideas to bring the best in contemporary African film as well as cherished classics to a wider audience.

Expertly curated screenings, discussions and live events will take place from 21 to 27 October 2016 in a range of venues across the historic city of Cambridge.

Founded in 2002 by a small group of graduate students at the University of Cambridge, CAFF is dedicated to promoting African and black culture, providing a UK audience for African filmmakers and offering an important counterbalance to the Western media’s stereotyping of Africa.
