May 15 - 18, 2025 at Maysles Cinema

Maysles Documentary Center celebrates the 32nd anniversary of the New York African Film Festival (NYAFF) with screenings from May 15 to May 18, 2025. Launched in 1993 and one of the first of its kind in the United States, the festival reflects on the myriad ways African and diaspora storytellers have used the moving image as a mold to tell their stories in their own nuanced and idiosyncratic ways. Audiences are invited to explore the infinite realms of African and diaspora storytelling and embrace its visionary, probing, and fearless spirit.
