The Ethio-China Film and Television Festival, marking the launch of Africa’s first BRICS Film Festival, is scheduled to take place from December 20 to December 23, 2024, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This inaugural event aims to foster knowledge exchange between film education institutions in China and Ethiopia while revitalizing the African film industry.
Organized by Goff Entertainment in collaboration with Ethiopia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture and Sports, and the Chinese Embassy in Ethiopia, the festival seeks to enhance film education and create a bridge for cultural exchange across the continent. By connecting filmmakers and educators from both nations, the festival aims to strengthen ties and promote collaborative efforts within the film sector.
The Ethio-China Film and Television Festival will play a crucial role in sharing knowledge and experiences between the two countries’ film industries. It is expected to serve as a platform for showcasing films, discussing industry trends, and exploring opportunities for future collaborations among BRICS nations.
The festival is part of a broader initiative to deepen cultural cooperation between Ethiopia and China. By launching this festival, organizers hope to not only highlight Ethiopian cinema but also to position it as a significant player in the global film landscape.
