African Diaspora Cinema Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The African Diaspora Cinema Festival (ADCF) is an independent, nonprofit festival founded in 2013 by filmmaker Fide Dayo and based in Tuscany, with editions held in Florence and other nearby venues rather than Siena itself. It is notable as a major Italian platform for African and African diaspora cinema, presenting films, visual art, and related cultural programming that promotes Black stories and images and brings together filmmakers, audiences, and industry guests. Its selection typically includes feature films, short films, documentaries, music documentaries, and works tied to African contemporary dance, with an emphasis on productions from Africa and the global African diaspora.
