African cinema.
Experienced together.
Bring a distinctive African film programme to your cinema, arts venue, university or cultural space. RIM is developing curated exhibitions that combine compelling films with the context, conversation and local relationships that make a screening memorable.
Our programme begins in the UK, with plans to develop selected partner presentations in Europe and the USA. We welcome early conversations with venues and organisations interested in helping shape that journey.
Host a screening
A programme with a point of view
A screening can explore contemporary life, family, enterprise, migration, music, heritage or a particular national cinema. The programme might centre on a feature, a selection of shorts or a focused season, supported by an agreed discussion or filmmaker contribution.
We intend to present suitable RIM productions as they become available and films licensed from other African and diaspora creators. Each title is selected for its creative quality, audience fit, rights availability and delivery readiness.
A practical proposition for hosts
We can discuss programme curation, film booking coordination, an event format, approved publicity materials, audience partnerships and the production of a moderated conversation. The agreed assignment should reflect the host's venue, technical facilities, local knowledge and budget.
The first step is a conversation about your audience and what you want the event to achieve. A one-off presentation, a recurring film night and a touring season need different plans.
Make room for the conversation
Filmmaker Q&As, subject specialists and African Origin interviews can open up the story behind a film. We can also discuss an accompanying workshop that gives participants a practical way to explore a theme or filmmaking technique.
Guest participation and learning activity are shaped and confirmed for each programme. The screening itself remains central: the right film, a suitable venue and an audience that feels welcome.
Planning your first event
Tell us your city, venue type, available capacity, preferred dates, audience and budget range. Let us know if you have a theme or film in mind and whether you want a discussion, workshop or wider programme around the presentation.
Before we begin.
Are screening dates available now?
We are developing the programme with potential hosts and collaborators. Confirmed public events and booking information will be announced as arrangements are completed. You can contact us now about hosting or programme interest.
