Raymond Anyiam-Osigwe, the Designated Chair/CEO of the AFA board expressed in a press statement that this year’s edition would celebrate the late founder Peace Anyiam-Osigwe and also the contributions the academy has made to the African film industry since its inception.
“This is an avenue to officially end the 19th edition of the AMAAs under the supervision of the Africa Film Academy and begin the journey to AMAA 2024. The 20th Edition of the AMAA, will serve as a testimony to African Creativity as we celebrate and toast not just the founder, Peace Anyiam-Osigwe of blessed memory and her contribution in placing African film and filmmakers on the Global stage [and] also 20 years of AMAA which showcases the finest in African Film and Cinematography,” he said.
The organisers also announced the official call for submissions, which invites filmmakers to submit their feature length, short films, animation, and documentary work for consideration in the nearly 30 film categories of the awards.
