In recognition of the power of film to change narratives, Africa No Filter has launched The Last Mile Film Fund that will provide grants to filmmakers in the final stages of production.
The fund wants to influence the conversation about African films and Africa by partnering with storytellers using film to change how the rest of the world sees and engages with Africa. Successful applicants can expect to receive grants worth up to $15,000 for feature-length films and up to $10,000 for short films.
