The Festival International du Film du Togo, held in Lome, is a real, multi-edition African cinema festival; its eighth edition, held around 2024, awarded a best-fiction prize to the Togolese romantic drama A l'epreuve du goumin, which had premiered in Lome the previous year.

The festival's role as a genuine showcase for African and Togolese cinema is confirmed by its awarding of competitive prizes, including best fiction, to films such as A l'epreuve du goumin, a 2023 Togolese romantic comedy-drama that had its Lome premiere at the Hotel 2 Fevrier's Salle Concorde before going on to win at the festival's eighth edition
