Slum Film Festival is the first ever film platform-featuring stories from slums, about slum realities and made by filmmakers from the slums in Africa – and beyond.  It is a celebration of the creativity of filmmakers living and working in slums.  It is also an opportunity to show a range of films within slum communities who have limited or no access to cinema.
 
The first pilot edition of the festival was celebrated with success in August 2011.   This program has now been extended and expanded in subsequent 4 editions between 2012 and 2014.  The festival has reached out for submissions from across Africa and indeed the world.  It has gathered audiences from thousands of slum dwellers and urban culture enthusiasts.
 
There are numerous international film festivals around the world, but the Slum Film Festival is exceptional in its mission to be celebrated within slums, and its dedication to sharing slum stories. More than just a festival, it is aiming to become an international film platform for young independent voices, and upcoming and established filmmakers from across the world.
