AfA-SIFF 2026 — The Cost of Waste
"Nothing is missing. We just waste everything."

About AfA-SIFF

AfA-SIFF stands for Art for Advocacy Social Impact Film Forum. It is a Nigerian film forum — not a festival — built to use African cinema, storytelling, music, and stage performance to generate honest discussions around real social issues affecting our communities.

We spotlight African stories that challenge society, inspire reflection, encourage dialogue, and promote change. Through film screenings, panel discussions, humanitarian recognition awards, and community conversations, we confront real African realities: corruption, silence, waste, migration pressure, family values, leadership, and identity.

AfA-SIFF is proudly based in Abuja, Nigeria. Our films are provided by our creative partner, OtaUmaBen Visuals, on YouTube.

Our Mission

To use African cinema, storytelling, music, and conversations as tools for social impact, cultural preservation, moral reflection, and youth empowerment.

Our Audience

Filmmakers, students, faith communities, NGOs, creatives, policy voices, families, and young Africans hungry for meaningful stories and honest dialogue.

Our Format

Film screenings, panel conversations, musical performances, costume showcases, filmmaker talks, and honest community impact sessions in Abuja.

Our Mission

To use African cinema, storytelling, music, and conversations as tools for social impact, cultural preservation, moral reflection, environmental awareness, and youth empowerment.

Our Vision

To become one of Africa's leading socially conscious film forums where filmmakers, communities, young people, faith voices, and institutions gather yearly to inspire change through powerful storytelling and honest dialogue.
