AFC came into existence from an organic idea to create a film company that operates from cooperative principles and grass root organizing to produce and distribute positive and meaningful films, documentaries, and animations from an African centered perspective for people of African descent. Afrocentric Films Collaborative's mission is to build an Afrocentric film community that supports and advocates black/African cinema centered on black/African culture, the black/African experience, and the cultural spirit that exists throughout the African Diaspora. The goal of AFC is to produce and distribute quality motion pictures from a variety of genres and story lines. AFC is the only film cooperative that is membership based and operated entirely by people of African ancestry in the United States. AFC is a member-managed and democratically governed collaborative where members our both owners and workers of the film company.
