The Mbawula Youth Film Festival (MYFF) is an annual event held in Kimberley, South Africa, focused on youth-made films, international documentaries, and promoting storytelling among young people from often marginalized communities. Hosted by the Awakening Creative Project in collaboration with the National Film and Video Foundation, the festival transforms various venues across the city into stages for film screenings, live performances, and masterclasses, with a strong emphasis on accessibility and community engagement through free entry and outreach activities. The festival aims to empower emerging filmmakers and provide a platform for diverse narratives, including those by women and queer voices, reflecting on themes like democracy and identity.
