In September 2013, the African Women’s Development Fund convened the 2nd African Women in Film Forum (AWIFF) in Accra, Ghana. This event brought together film makers, producers, writers and content creators together around the theme, ‘Creating Compelling Social Justice Content for Film and Television’.

This 2nd AWIFF focused on storytelling as a way to foreground African women’s stories. For the AWIFF participants, producing creative audio-visual content emanates from a desire to tell radical and evocative stories. Speakers, panelists and participants described the conversations and discussions to be “thought-provoking,” “revealing,” “inspiring,” yet “agitating” and “challenging”. For many, the forum offered an opportunity to engage creatively about process and develop strategic alliances with fellow filmmakers and cultural producers, both within and across borders.
