Vision & Goals

The festival aims to establish Angola as a hub for creation, dialogue, and cultural cooperation, strengthening its presence in the international African cinematic landscape.

Our strategic vision for 2026-2030 is to position FIC Luanda as a top-tier festival in Sub-Saharan Africa and a reference in the Lusophone region, aiming for regional leadership and continental recognition, while transforming Luanda into one of the main African cinematic capitals.
