This was an absolutely fantastic festival. The quality of the films screened was very high; all the ones I saw were quite enjoyable and I was luckily able to go to a couple blocks and see that there was a diverse selection of films; something for everyone. Everyone involved with the festival was gracious and so easy to get along with, and networking with fellow creators was a blast. Looking forward to next year!
The Ananse Cinema International Festival celebrates the Do-It-Yourself filmmaking aesthetic. Held in Ghana every year, ANCIFF serves to highlight DIY filmmakers across the spectrum of the industry in every genre. From horror to drama, comedy to documentary, experimental and underground to video art, we salute filmmakers who embrace the true indie spirit by making quality art on their own terms.

Anciff International Film Festival gave us an amazing experience we will never forget! The contacts we made, the friends we made, all unforgettable and awesome! From the very start, we had open communication with event days, updates, and ticket sales. It never felt like at any point we were out of the loop, or didn't know what to expect. These guys are awesome and foster filmmakers to be themsleves and to strive for the best. What more can I say? They simply made the festival worthwhile and enjoyable!"
One of my favorite festivals on the circuit. Incredible community, packed houses, great networking opportunities, image quality of films was great. ANCIFF Film Fest communication was the best I've experienced, which really makes you feel good about attending. Their love of film and filmmakers is palpable. They are super encouraging of helping you make your films with a community behind you, and that you should keep making films no matter what your budget. The focus is on storytelling - what moviemaking is all about - and not about being a celebrity. One of my favorite things about the festival is the variety of films. You never get bored. Each film stands alone and yet it all fits in. Great programming! The festival is definitely worth submitting to and attending."
