GFC Afro Geek

The Gauteng Film Commission is proud to support the third annual Afro Geek Fest, a landmark innovation expo hosted at the historic Uncle Tom’s Hall in Orlando West, Soweto, that serves as a vital nexus for digital storytelling, animation, and technical development. By establishing a premier platform in the heart of the township, the festival bridges the gap between emerging local talent and the global creative economy, democratizing access to the tools and networks necessary for digital success. Afro Geek Fest is far more than an exhibition; it is an incubator for the next generation of African creators that fosters a sustainable, localized ecosystem for ingenuity. Our support for this initiative underscores a deep commitment to nurturing the creative potential of our province’s youth, ensuring that Gauteng remains at the forefront of the global digital media landscape while empowering Soweto’s innovators to define the future of the country’s storytelling and technology.
