ABOUT THE PROJECT
LOGLINE
PAVILLON AFRIQUES showcases African and diaspora filmmakers to a global audience, creating international collaborations and welcoming creatives from over 60 countries at the Cannes Film Festival since 2019.
SYNOPSIS
PAVILLON AFRIQUES is an essential platform for filmmakers of African descent and the diaspora, offering unparalleled access to global networks at the Cannes Film Festival. The event is a bridge between Africa and the world, welcoming international collaborations and fostering new opportunities for creatives across various continents.
The mission is to highlight Africa’s contributions to global cinema while opening doors for dialogue and partnership with international industry leaders. The motto, *"Where Africa Welcomes the World,"* reflects this open, inclusive vision. PAVILLON AFRIQUES serves as a hub for filmmakers, producers, distributors, and financiers to come together, exchange ideas, and spark collaborations that transcend borders.
Over the years, the event has consistently provided a stage for emerging and established talent, making a significant impact by promoting African cinema on a global scale. This is a space where ideas flourish, and careers are transformed. By supporting PAVILLON AFRIQUES, donors ensure that this platform continues to thrive, enabling it to shine a spotlight on African creativity and build meaningful connections between Africa and the world.
Contributions ensure that these creatives continue to tell their stories, shape their futures, and push African cinema to greater heights. By supporting PAVILLON AFRIQUES, donors directly invest in a legacy of empowerment, diversity, and cinematic excellence. This is not just about funding an event; it’s about transforming an industry and uplifting an entire community.
Now more than ever, your support can make a difference in bridging the gap for African filmmakers who have the talent but lack the resources to make their voices heard on a global stage. This is an opportunity to be part of a movement that celebrates culture, storytelling, and diversity.
PAVILLON AFRIQUES embodies the vision of a thriving Africa, as conceived by Karine Barclais.

- Use your PayPal account
- Check out as a guest by selecting “Donate with a Debit or Credit Card” (no PayPal account is required)

Alternate Donation Payment Methods
If you prefer to donate by check, Zelle, ACH, or wire transfer, please email us for instructions.
Stock Donations
TFC accepts stock donations. By donating stock that has appreciated for more than a year, you are giving 20% more than if you sold the stock and then made a cash donation, since you will not pay capital gains taxes on the donated stock. Learn more here.
Please email us for instructions to donate stock to a fiscally sponsored project.
Donor Advised Fund (DAF) Donations
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. TFC accepts DAF donations and is on file with most major DAF companies. Provide your DAF TFC’s Tax ID: 32-0295081. If we are already on file with your DAF company, they will process the donation.
If TFC is not already on file with your DAF company, please email us for instructions.
Tax Receipts
In compliance with IRS rules, tax receipts for your charitable gift are issued for the amount The Film Collaborative receives after payment processor fees are deducted. The Film Collaborative emails tax receipts in PDF format within 30 days of your online donation. The “receipt” that is immediately sent to you from PayPal after you donate is just a payment receipt, not the tax receipt.
Matching Donations
Many companies have matching gift programs and can help you double your donation to a project of your choosing. Sometimes these programs will match a donation up to a year after it was originally made! Check with your employer—if they have a matching gift program, they will provide you with instructions.
End of Year Giving
November, December, and January are big giving months each year. Donors top up their annual giving in November and December. January is a new fiscal year, and some donors start their giving for the next fiscal year early. Some donors even give at the end of the year and again in January since these donations fall into different fiscal years.
Donors tend to make their large year-end donation decisions before the holidays start. In 2024, that means before December 20. TFC can accept donations by wire, ACH, and Zelle until 5:00pm Eastern Time on December 31. Online donations by credit or debit card can be made until 11:59pm Pacific Time on December 31.
