The 32nd New York African Film Festival (NYAFF32) runs May 7 – May 31, 2025, unspooling more than 100 films from 30+ African nations and their global diaspora under the rallying theme “Fluid Horizons: A Hopeful Lens of a Shifting World.” Screenings, talks, and parties cascade across Film at Lincoln Center (May 7–13), Harlem’s Maysles Cinema (May 15–18), and BAM’s FilmAfrica series in Brooklyn (May 23–29), before a free, open-air finale in St. Nicholas Park on June 1. Expect premieres, filmmaker Q&As, town-hall conversations on art and activism, and a spotlight on Mozambican cinema—all celebrating three decades of boundary-pushing African storytelling in New York City.
