Are you an African or African diaspora creator ready to bring your feature film or TV series vision to life? The Next Narrative Africa Fund (NNAF) is now accepting applications for its first-ever open call, part of its mission to inject $40 million into authentic, commercially viable African stories across the continent and beyond.
Who Should Apply?
- African-based filmmakers or diaspora storytellers
- Projects in feature-length film or television series formats
- Ambitious narratives rooted in African experiences, perspectives, and voices
NNAF is focused on empowering creators who want to reshape global narratives, highlight cultural depth, and build sustainability in storytelling.
What’s in the Fund?
- Total fund size: US $40 million, a blend of grants and equity financing
- Designed to close gaps in financing for African film and TV
- Targets content that’s both creatively bold and commercially viable
This means more than funding; it’s a chance for industry mentorship, global distribution support, and creative freedom to tell Africa’s next big stories.
African content is gaining global traction, from Nollywood’s boom to streaming successes. Yet many storytellers still lack backing. NNAF bridges that gap, propelling creators from all corners of Africa and its diaspora into the industry’s spotlight. It's not just about telling stories; it’s about creating jobs, driving innovation, and promoting pan-African cultural exchange.
The Next Narrative Africa Fund's first-ever open call for submissions is almost here, and they want to help get your project out to the world.
