About Us

We understand that awards are not the reason why we make films, but why lit a candle and hide it?

The Dazzle Film Festival is an international film festival that is passionate about celebrating filmmakers, directors and storytellers around the world. Founded in 2024, the Dazzle Film Festival brings together film makers and film enthusiasts at the annual Dazzle Film Festival event and curates a unique opportunity for filmmakers to screen their films and share their stories. DFF provides emerging and established film makers the opportunity to connect with industry and film enthusiasts by screening their work,  juried awards and prizes.

We invite filmmakers in Africa and all over the world to showcase their films by submitting on our platform. Each film submission will be screened by a team of selected jury. The qualified films will be publicly screened on the Dazzle Film festival event and finalists will receive awards and prizes that may include grants to produce more bigger budget films.

The Dazzle film Festival will include a workshop for selected filmmakers and candidates.

Your dynamic and original moving stories deserve to be seen and heard, so let’s shine together. Join us as we inspire you and other storytellers and film makers around the world to never lose their wonder.
