NEWFWhat started out as an annual Congress, NEWF has grown to become an all year round impact and outreach organization. Through an integrated slate of programs, we inspire and incubate emerging science, nature, wildlife and conservation storytellers in digital media in Africa. NEWF is one of the only platforms in Africa addressing the challenges faced by the natural world and driving solutions through impactful creative science communication.  We aim to impact, diversify, and transform the industry by encouraging stories told from African perspectives, by authentic local voices.  The NEWF Congress is our annual gathering and signature event which brings together emerging and experienced filmmakers, storytellers, scientists, conservationists, and media distributors to connect and engage towards a common goal of creating a path to conservation through film.  Dedicated to discovering and amplifying the next generation, the NEWF Labs Program addresses the development and transformation objectives of the organization by fast-tracking specialized professional development for “young” under-represented filmmakers and science communicators.  We advance community outreach and engagement with the NEWF Community Cinema Programme – a mobile pop-up cinema for schools and community film focus groups.
