Recently, ten aspiring conservation filmmakers joined the African Conservation Voices Producers’ Lab (ACVPL) fellowship and took part in an immersive storytelling workshop in Nairobi. This fellowship is a collaborative effort by the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and Nature, Environment, and Wildlife Filmmakers (NEWF), aimed at fostering the abilities of African filmmakers and empowering them to create compelling conservation narratives. The ACVPL has been facilitated by Africa Refocused, a joint venture between NEWF and the National Geographic Society.
These filmmakers will share their own experiences in order to change people’s view of the continent, while inspiring communities to protect nature, wildlife and cultural heritage.
