The Realtime International Film Festival (RTF) is an independent film festival that originated in Africa with a global reach, aiming to foster an inclusive and technology-driven platform for filmmakers worldwide. Founded by Stanley Ohikhuare in 2016, the festival celebrates artistic films and their creators while also emphasizing the latest technologies influencing filmmaking. It focuses on creating an ultimate "film democracy" that is accessible, inclusive, innovative, environmentally-friendly, and technology-driven. The festival often hosts a creative blend of arts, film, and industry sessions, welcoming storytellers and creative arts practitioners globally. RTF has also adapted to be remotely accessible, notably presenting an online edition post-COVID-19 lockdown. In 2026, the theme for RTF is "ENTREAT". The festival supports young and emerging filmmakers and has showcased films from established filmmakers who have won awards at prestigious festivals.
