AfriLab AI Film Hub 2026 Cohort

Theme: Transforming Stories Through AI

The AfriLab AI Film Hub 2026 Cohort is currently underway, bringing together 10 selected African creators who are turning real experiences, bold ideas, and personal stories into AI-powered films.

This cohort is built around one powerful theme:

Transforming Stories Through AI

Through this journey, creators are learning how to move from idea to story, from story to visuals, and from visuals to full cinematic expression using AI tools. Each creator is not only producing a film but also documenting their process, sharing life experiences, and showing audiences how stories can be reimagined through technology.
