The African Indigenous Language Film Festival was founded three years ago by Osezua Stephen-Imobhio, a renowned film and television producer, and his wife, Patience Oghre Imobhio, a prolific film director. Recognizing the urgent need for the preservation and promotion of African indigenous languages, arts, culture, and tourism, the Imobhios established the festival as a platform to amplify the voices of the voiceless through advocacy and inclusivity. Since its inception, the festival has grown significantly, attracting filmmakers and audiences from across the globe, and has become a pivotal space for dialogue on cultural identity and social issues, while celebrating the rich tapestry of African narratives
