Nature, Environment, Wildlife Filmmaking (NEWF)

THE WORLD CONSUMES SO MUCH OF AFRICA’S WILDLIFE AND NATURAL HISTORY BUT BLACK AFRICAN FILMMAKERS ARE RARER THAN SOME OF THE SPECIES CONSERVATIONISTS SEEK TO PROTECT!

There is critical need to for Africa to expose the world to the wealth of her stories, wonders and natural history told through perspectives of her people. NEWF is a permanent platform in Africa for filmmakers, conservationists and scientists to engage, network and contribute through storytelling towards a shared vision of protecting the earths’ natural assets for future generations. What started out as an annual Congress in 2017 has grown to become an all year round capacity building, impact and outreach organisation building a connected network of Africans advocating for the protection of our continents natural habitats and wildlife through visual storytelling. 

VISION

The Stories of Africa that celebrate and advocate for the protection of her natural history are told by a connected network of visual storytellers organically led by indigenous African voices.

MISSION

Remove the barriers to entry and build capacity in order to enable access, support inclusion and create a culture of equity for African nature, environment and wildlife visual storytellers.
