Deadline: 1 October 2023
AFLAMUNA is organizing a local “AFLAMUNA Impact Lab: Egypt” in partnership with the Egyptian Film Producers’ Club and Seen Films.
The impact labs create bridges for films to reach new audiences and engage civil society actors in their respective themes.
What is an Impact Lab?
- The Lab is a place to imagine how they can collaborate with storytellers and unlock the power of the narrative, using documentary filmmaking as a core part of social and environmental development.
- The local editions are highly interactive and participatory labs. The participants will be guided through the theory and practice of creating impact with documentary films and shown inspiring case studies relevant to their projects.

Who are the Beneficiaries?
- Filmmakers and participants from film production, distribution, and the arts in general. Also, individuals working in communication, advertising, marketing, public relations, journalism, media, promotional campaigns, and awareness campaigns in various forms are encouraged to apply for participation in the lab, which will be held in Cairo in November 2023.
- AFLAMUNA, Egyptian Film Producers Club, and Seen Films require all participants to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of the data and information related to film projects and participants’ data.
