At FILM CONNECT SWEDEN-GAMBIA, we are driven by a singular mission: to foster a vibrant exchange of cultural narratives and film-making expertise between Sweden and Gambia. Our initiative seeks to transcend geographic and cultural boundaries, creating a collaborative space where creativity, knowledge, and passion for film converge.

We envision a world where stories from diverse cultures are shared and celebrated, enhancing the global film landscape. Our commitment lies in nurturing the next generation of Gambian filmmakers by equipping them with the skills, connections, and platforms necessary to tell their stories to a worldwide audience.

Born from a partnership between Swedish film experts and Gambian educational institutions, our project is a testament to the power of film as a tool for cross-cultural dialogue and education. Recognizing the untapped potential in The Gambia's burgeoning film scene and the wealth of knowledge within Sweden's established cinematic tradition, we embarked on this journey to bridge these two worlds, fostering a reciprocal relationship of learning and growth.

We believe in hands-on learning, mentorship, and the sharing of real-world experiences. Through workshops, masterclasses, and on-the-ground projects, we offer immersive experiences that not only teach the technical aspects of filmmaking but also the subtle art of storytelling that resonates across different societies.

Beyond technical training, FILM CONNECT SWEDEN-GAMBIA is a catalyst for enduring relationships between Swedish and Gambian creatives. We are building a community where experienced professionals and aspiring students can collaborate on projects that amplify their voices and showcase their unique cultural perspectives.

We are proud to work alongside a diverse group of individuals: students eager to learn, professionals dedicated to teaching, and a supportive network of partners who believe in our cause. Together, we are not just connecting two countries—we are shaping a narrative of unity, learning, and shared human experiences through the universal language of film.
