As we embark on our projects for 2026, we’re filled with excitement for what lies ahead.

2025 was a landmark year for us and for The Spirit of Dambe, and we couldn’t have done it without your incredible support.

We are honoured to have been officially selected at several incredible film festivals, with each selection marking a major milestone for us:

🎬 Filmmaker Session Volume 11 (Lift-Off Global Network 2025) — Winner

🎬 Clear Screen Media (2025)

🎬 Vancouver Black Independent Film Festival (2025)

🎬 II Itaicine Festival Internacional de Animação de Itaiópolis (2025)

🎬 Jos Community Film Festival (2025)

And we’re kicking off 2026 with another exciting selection:

🎬 Barcelona International FICTS Festival (BCN Sports Film 2026)

Every selection, every screening, and every recognition reminds us why we started this journey—to tell powerful African stories through animation and to inspire the next generation of storytellers.

Thank you for believing in our vision, supporting our work, and cheering us on every step of the way.

Here’s to a bigger, bolder, and more exciting year ahead!
