The story

Festival International du Film Awards in Conakry

A three-day Conakry film festival held each December, branded FIF Awards, screening African cinema and spotlighting young filmmakers, positioning the capital briefly as a genuine hub for continental film culture and creative professional exchange across all of West Africa's growing cinema scene each passing year.

Festival International du Film Awards, known by its FIF Awards branding, staged its 2025 edition across 11 to 13 December in Conakry, with Guinean press explicitly framing the city as becoming, at least for those three days, the capital of African cinema.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

FIF Awards adds a genuine, if smaller-scale, entry to Africa's film festival landscape, explicitly built to spotlight young and emerging filmmakers alongside broader African cinema screenings, in a country that does not otherwise have a long-established international film festival tradition to rival Ouagadougou or Cairo's much larger, older, far better-funded events each and every year

02

The mystery stays covered

Its three-day compact format still manages to squeeze in multiple screenings, panels and award presentations for visiting film professionals and the general public alike
