THE FILM BIZ SHOW

THE FILM BIZ SHOW

The Film Biz Show is a screen industry conversation platform exploring the business, creativity, people, and opportunities shaping film and television across Africa and the wider global industry.


Created for an industry in motion, the platform brings together creators, producers, executives, decision-makers, and emerging voices for thoughtful conversations on how screen stories are developed, financed, produced, distributed, marketed, and experienced. It looks beyond the finished film or series to the wider

ecosystem behind it, the ideas, partnerships, access points, market realities, cultural shifts, and creative choices that move the industry forward.

Aligned with FAME Week Africa’s mission to connect, showcase, and grow Africa’s creative industries, The Film Biz Show contributes to a deeper and more connected dialogue between African screen talent and the

global creative economy. Through interviews, industry reflections, and grounded conversations, it creates space for audiences to engage with both the art of storytelling and the commercial structures that make sustainable screen work possible.

Its purpose is to amplify meaningful film and television voices while creating visibility, insight, and exchange across the value chain. For filmmakers, producers, broadcasters, streamers, distributors, investors, sponsors, exhibitors, and delegates, The Film Biz Show offers a considered gateway into the people, ideas, and industry forces shaping the future of screen content.

As part of the FAME Week Africa ecosystem, The Film Biz Show helps extend the conversation beyond the event itself, positioning African creativity within a broader global field of enterprise, collaboration, talent, and opportunity.
