Meet Black Star International Film Festival (BSIFF). Become A Member

Have you heard of the Black Star International Film Festival, or BSIFF? It brings together people who love movies and culture. We got the chance to join one of their festivals, and the people there were friendly, and full of ideas. BSIFF calls its members "Black Stars," and they are helping filmmakers like you tell your stories.

Making films isn’t easy. It’s hard to find people to work with or get the support you need. For filmmakers in Ghana and Africa, it can feel even tougher because there aren’t always enough chances to connect or grow. That’s why finding a group to help you meet others and share ideas is so important. BSIFF knows this and wants to make things better for everyone who loves film.

How BSIFF Membership Makes a Difference


BSIFF membership is a great way to fix these problems. For just 300 GHS a year ($20), you become a Black Star and get tons of benefits. Here’s what you get:

BSIFF does more than just membership. They also run Ghana's biggest film festival every year in Accra with film screenings, workshops, and awards to celebrate great work. They help new filmmakers learn from pros through masterclasses and clinics. Plus, they bring people from Ghana, Africa, and the world together to talk about movies and make deals at the Africa Film Market. It’s all about making the film industry stronger and giving you a chance to shine.
