Open call: FAME Week Africa 2025 registrations

The event is designed for individuals and organisations in the creative economy including music, film, television, and fashion.

Whether pitching a series, placing a soundtrack, designing a red carpet look or animating a superhero, FAME Week connects opportunity and action. The programme includes curated meetings, live conversations, fresh talent and serious business opportunities as well as plenty of networking events.

Muziki Afrika (1 to 3 September)

• Music meets money, tech, and media. From copyright masterclasses and sync deals to the art of the music video and digital distribution, this is a full-spectrum dive into Africa’s vibrant music industry, complete with matchmaking between rights holders, labels, and screen producers.

MIP Africa (1 to 3 September)

• MIP Africa delivers tailored one-on-one matchmaking between Africa’s brightest creators and the world’s leading buyers, platforms, and producers. A programme of speakers and events includes hot takes on audience trends, the power of AI, spotlight sessions on women in film and co-production opportunities that make deals happen.

Animation Africa (1 to 3) September

• With live pitching, studio showcases and deep-dive panels, attendees will be able to learn more about the opportunities and possibilities for animation in Africa now.

FAME Shorts Film Festival (4 to 6 September)

• The week ends in the FAME Shorts Film Festival, a curated celebration of short-form storytelling from across Africa and its global diaspora. Short films are often a less expensive way to create evidence of ideas and talent and the presence of both a local and international contingent of film industry decision-makers. The Festival culminates in an award ceremony recognising the best of the showcase.

“With global demand for authentic, diverse content rising, Africa is emerging as one of the most exciting creative hubs in the world,” FAME Week Africa portfolio director Martin Hiller said. “Audiences are hungry for what our artists are producing—fresh perspectives, untold stories, and cultural brilliance. It's a creative goldmine, and it's coming together at FAME Week 2025.”
