The NGO International Film & Knowledge Forum
Emerging or unverified festival
The NGO International Film & Knowledge Forum is an international impact-film festival and knowledge-sharing platform that has presented editions in Nairobi, Kenya, including a 2023 event with film screenings, workshops, and knowledge sessions. It is notable for pairing films with interactive discussions, networking, and development-focused dialogue around the Sustainable Development Goals, making it more than a traditional screening festival. It showcases impact-driven, socially relevant films and is significant as a cross-sector forum for filmmakers, NGOs, policymakers, academics, and civil society rather than a purely commercial festival.[1][2][7]
