AfricaOne is the newest initiative coming under the African Film Academy (AFA) canopy, but has been at the heart of AMAA conceptually, since the beginning. At the heart of the AfricaOne initiative is the desire to bring together all contributors to the African Creative industry, on the same platform. Fundamentally, the idea of AfricaOne is to create an avenue for the realisation of the Pan-African dream using Africa’s creative industry.
AfricaOne seeks to rewrite the African narrative. As Africans, now more than ever, we must have our own voice in our story: the story of us, by us and for us. For this to come into fruition, it is crucial for Africans to come together; thus, the structural establishment of AfricaOne.
The AfricaOne road show will include music concerts, film screenings and the film-in-a-box initiative. In its strive to showcase all of Africa’s creative innovators, the AfricaOne show will also showcase all other aspects of Africa’s creative sphere including visual arts…
However, in its entirety, AfricaOne is much more than a showcase. Against the backdrop of providing an opportunity for African creativity to manifest, AfricaOne seeks to establish a pathway to turn creativity into a substantial financial base. It will re-enforce the economic viability of African creativity, and its capacity to enhance the African economy at large.
