Pitch Your Project Here

As part of the 7th edition of Accra Indie Filmfest (AiF), we are excited to bring back our groundbreaking initiative that spotlights emerging filmmakers, now rebranded as AiF Talent Connect. Formerly known as the “AiF Pitch Series”, this platform was first introduced during our 6th edition of the festival in 2024 to empower promising storytellers with opportunities for global exposure and professional growth. Ghanaian filmmakers are invited to submit their short film projects in production for a winning opportunity to participate in Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival's Talent Connexion in France.

Building on the success of last year where the winning project “Martha” an animated short project by Akosua Asamoabea who participated in the prestigious 47th Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival's Talent Connexion in 2025. AiF Talent Connect continues its mission to bridge Ghanaian creativity with global industry networks. This initiative is designed to nurture innovative ideas, connect filmmakers with industry experts, and accelerate the development of outstanding short film projects.
