We are proud to share that our Group Chairman, Joel Chikapa-Phiri, will be speaking on two key panels at the Cross Continental Forum 2025, taking place in Barbados from June 13 to 18.
Panel Discussion: Financing Black and Global South Co-Productions – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Panel Discussion: Decolonising Distribution
Bringing together top producers from Africa, the Caribbean, the UK, and Canada, the Forum is a bold initiative to reimagine global media collaboration through the lens of equity, shared ownership, and cultural sovereignty.
Joel joins a powerful lineup of creatives and industry leaders who are committed to building a sustainable ecosystem for Black and Global Majority storytellers. Each session is designed to challenge outdated structures and move the conversation from rhetoric to real-world action.
Some events are open to the public, offering a unique opportunity to engage with global voices who are shaping the future of storytelling.
