The Sierra Leone Film Foundation is a Sierra Leone non-profit organisation founded to support the long-term sustainable development and promotion of a Sierra Leone filmmaking industry.

As the very first organisation of its kind in Sierra Leone, founded by Sierra Leone film industry professionals, and encouraged in its goals by international groups and individuals, the Foundation aims to work collaboratively with national and international industry stakeholders including government and civic agencies, non-profit organisations, corporate institutions as well as film industry professionals, academics and general audiences. With the support of all stakeholders, we aim to further support for Sierra Leone national and international productions, co-productions, events, programmes and related campaigns and projects that will provide mutual benefit for filmmakers and audiences in Sierra Leone as well as in countries around the world.

Through our various projects, the Foundation aims to bring together the skills, talents, experiences and resources, as well as the interest and enthusiasm for Sierra Leone filmmaking that abounds in Sierra Leone and beyond. By channelling these energies in the support of the development of a sustainable Sierra Leone filmmaking practice, our aim is to ensure that Sierra Leone filmmaking is developed, established and sustained as a permanent and positive contribution to the continued social, cultural and economic development of Sierra Leone.
