Not Your Ordinary Creative Agency

We are a pan-African, anti-xenophobic, and pro-Black film curation agency rooted in South Africa. At our core, we’re committed to accessible, unapologetic storytelling — spotlighting the voices of women, queer artists, and marginalised African filmmakers.


Through curated screenings, multidisciplinary events, and community-centred programming, we reframe African cinema as not just entertainment, but an archive of humanity, memory, and resistance.
