Who we are

us.
ENIFF was created from a belief in the power of African stories and the people who tell them.
Rooted in Eastern Nigeria's deep ties to Nollywood and African cinema, we are a platform dedicated to amplifying African storytelling and connecting filmmakers with audiences across borders.
Our first edition arrived at an extraordinary moment. What was planned as a physical gathering in Enugu moved online during the pandemic, bringing 40 films and audiences together virtually.
From that first edition, ENIFF has grown into an annual international gathering for cinema, creative exchange and new voices. This year we return to Enugu for our seventh edition, continuing a story that began here and continues to reach outward.
