The Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) has published its 2026 film selection, featuring 67 films ahead of its 15th edition in Lagos, Nigeria. 

The event, themed “Frames of the Future: Africa’s Creative Intelligence,” is scheduled to run from November 1 to 7.

The list includes six Special Presentations, 15 Features, 22 Documentaries and 24 Shorts. 

Special Presentations include It’s the Blackness, directed by Hakeem Kae-Kazim; Sentimental Value, directed by Joachim Trier; and The Spectacular Death of Prisca, directed by Kaelo Iyizoba.  

The Features section includes ABENI, directed by Esse Akwawa and Samuel Olasehinde, and Her Daughters’ Mother, directed by Chinàzaēkpērē Chukwu. Documentary selections include Mi Tazi, Hope Is a Word and SUYA – A Spicy Piece of Home. 

Although AFRIFF describes the selection as spanning six categories, titles currently appear under four sections. “Jury Selection” and “Audience” are also listed on the website, but without separate film lists. 

Film-specific screening times have not yet been published. The full selection is available on AFRIFF’s official website. 

This report is based on titles and director credits published on AFRIFF’s website as of October 14, 2026. OYA Magazine will update it as further programme details become available.
