Africa’s Film Industry

Africa’s film industry is one of the fastest-growing in the world, with Nollywood alone generating over $6.4 billion annually and producing nearly 2,500 films a year. However, most filmmakers are forced to self-fund their projects, take out risky loans, or depend on inconsistent partnerships to bring their visions to reality. Without access to structured funding, brilliant African films struggle to meet international production standards, limiting their global impact and financial potential. While other film industries—Hollywood, Bollywood, and Korea’s K-wave—thrive on structured investment models, Africa’s filmmakers continue to operate in survival mode.
