There’s something special about being in a room filled with storytellers.

You can feel it in the air, the quiet anticipation before a screening, the laughter that ripples through a crowd, the deep conversations that continue long after the lights come back on. That’s what The Film Week is about. It’s not just an event, it’s a gathering of people who believe in stories. If you love storytelling, cinema, or simply being in spaces where creativity lives and breathes, this is where you need to be.

Find Your People

Film can sometimes feel like a solitary journey, long hours writing, editing, planning, dreaming. But The Film Week reminds us that we’re not alone. Directors, actors, writers, producers, students, and film lovers all come together in one shared space. It’s where introductions turn into collaborations. Where casual conversations spark new ideas. Where you realise that the person sitting next to you might just be your next creative partner. That one connection can change everything.

Grow Your Craft and Your Career

There’s inspiration, and then there’s action. Through practical workshops, masterclasses, and panel discussions led by experienced filmmakers and industry professionals, The Film Week offers more than motivation. It offers practical insight and real tools. You get to ask the questions you’ve been carrying, learn from those who have walked the path before you. And you leave not just inspired but equipped to take on your next project.

Discover Stories That Feel Like Home

There is something powerful about seeing your own realities reflected on screen. From premieres and thought provoking documentaries, to features and short films, The Film Week shines a light on Namibian cinema and powerful voices from across Africa. These are stories that feel familiar, that challenge and celebrate who we are. And perhaps most importantly, this is where we gather, not just to watch films, but to remember why stories matter in the first place.
