ACWP  Championing Africa’s Amazing Creatives

  About Us    The AfroCreatives WikiProject aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from the African cultural and creative industries, as well as African cultural enthusiasts, to contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative economy. AfroCreatives WikiProject +film is the inaugural effort of AfroCreatives WikiProject. By mobilizing African film creatives, professionals, experts, and film enthusiasts, ACWP +film aims to measurably enhance information on Wikipedia about the art and industry of African film, including:
 * The history of African cinema
 * Biographies of notable African creatives and professionals that span the industry
 * Notable African movies and television series
 * African studios, streaming platforms, awards, festivals, guilds, film schools, and other institutions that form the industry ecosystem
 * Developments in animation, AR, VR, and other technologies shaping the African film industry
 * Film financing, government policies, skills development, and other key industry issues

  Stubs to Expand A stub is any article that has only basic information while omitting important aspects of the topic. There is no exact size that defines a stub, but most articles under 250–300 words are considered stubs. Articles with more than 500 words are rarely stubs. You can identify and expand stubs into useful articles by first searching by country. Note: stubs are often tagged with a stub template at the bottom of the article; when the article is expanded, this template should be removed
