This year, four promising film projects — two in production and two in post-production — have been awarded a total of €360,000 in funding. The grants are co-financed equally by the Rwanda Development Board and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, with additional support from the ACP-EU Culture Programme.
The initiative, titled ACP-EU Towards a Viable Cultural Industry , is implemented by the Organisation of ACP States and funded by the European Union. Its strategic goal is to strengthen cultural and creative sectors across ACP countries (African, Caribbean, and Pacific Group of States) and amplify their socio-economic impact.
A diverse selection committee of local and international industry experts conducted a thorough and impartial evaluation of all eligible projects, assessing them against established criteria such as creativity, originality, and potential impact, among others. Each member contributed their expertise and judgment independently, resulting in a well-rounded choice of the four awarded projects.
The chosen projects span diverse thematic areas, including family dynamics, work and youth experiences, explorations of love, reflections on ancient history, and poignant narratives relating to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. These stories reflect the vibrant and complex cultural fabric of Rwanda and the broader ACP region, underscoring the power of film as a tool for dialogue, remembrance, and social transformation.
