About
PAVILLON AFRONOVA

Since our first participation at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, our mission has been to connect talent with opportunities, to make culture a driver of development, and to position creative Africa at the heart of global conversations. Pavillon Afronova is recognized as the essential space where Africa engages with the world, and where the world discovers the power of its stories, projects, and ambitions.
