Washington University African Film Festival

The 2026 African Film Festival at Washington University will celebrate its 19th year March 27-29, 2026 –  offering the latest and best of African Cinema to the Saint Louis region.  We are excited to reconnect with you in person.

Each year, the Department in African & African American Studies, Film & Media Studies and the African Students Association partner to present the African Film Festival to the Washington University and larger Saint Louis communities.  The festival showcases films, less than two years old, that have fared well at international festivals.

The 2026 Festival will take place in Brown Hall, Room 100 on Washington University’s Campus. The festival is free and open to the public. No tickets are required. For detailed current information, visit: africanfilm.wustl.edu.
