It was formed in 2024 as a collaboration between three editorial platforms: Akoroko (United States), Sinema Focus (Kenya), and What Kept Me Up (Nigeria).[1]
AFP operates as a networked organization, coordinating editorial coverage, industry reporting, and collective initiatives across multiple regions in Africa and the diaspora.[2]
African Film Press was established in 2024 by film industry journalists Tambay A. Obenson, Jennifer Ochieng, and Ikeade Oriade, as a formal alliance linking three independently operating media platforms focused on African screen cultures and industries.[3]
In 2024, African Film Press was selected for the inauguralMoving Pictures Incubator, a programme led by Berlin-based production company Some Fine Day Pix and supported by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). At the conclusion of the programme, AFP was awarded one of three €20,000 grants during a final presentation event held in Nairobi in December 2024.[4]
In 2025, African Film Press was selected for theEFM Startups programme at the European Film Market (EFM), held alongside the Berlin International Film Festival.[5]
