Create characters and worlds only you can imagine.
ABOUT THIS PATHWAY
From intimate dramas to imagined futures, fiction creates space to see the world differently.
This pathway introduces an AI-assisted filmmaking process that takes a narrative idea through scripting, visual development, production and editing. Explore how to create consistent characters, direct images and movement, and combine performance, sound and pacing into a coherent film. Bring your own perspective to the stories you tell, making room for African lives, places and possibilities that deserve to be seen on their own terms.
Who it is for:
Directors, filmmakers, writers and visual storytellers who want to turn narrative ideas into screen-based work.
