Manitoba is Our Home, Africa is Our Identity
Manitoba is a place where cultures converge, art flourishes, and the community celebrates together. It is home to vibrant neighbourhoods, festivals that fill the streets with life, and a deep respect for diversity.
AM-FM believes stories connect us all. We bring African cinema to the heart of Manitoba, providing a platform for African filmmakers and a cultural home for all who love authentic storytelling. Whether you are discovering African films for the first time or reconnecting with your heritage, AM-FM is here to welcome you.
Thank You!

Your support, trust, and commitment have helped us create a space where stories inspire, cultures connect, and communities grow stronger. Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping make the 2026 festival a success. We look forward to welcoming you back for an even bigger celebration at the 2027 African Movie Festival in Manitoba.
