African Film Festival, Inc. (AFF) celebrates the 31st edition of the New York African Film Festival (NYAFF) from May 8 to May 30, 2024. Since its inception in 1993, the festival has been at the forefront of showcasing African and diaspora filmmakers’ unique storytelling through the moving image. This year’s theme, Convergence of Time, explores the intersection of historical and contemporary roles played by individuals representing Africa and its diaspora in art. With over 50 films from more than 25 countries, the festival invites audiences to delve into the convergence of archival and modern experimentalism, transcending both space and time.

The 30th-anniversary edition of the New York African Film Festival will be presented in collaboration with Film at Lincoln Center (FLC – May 8 – 14), Maysles Cinema (May 17 – 19), and BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music – May 24 – 30).
