To inaugurate this 2025 edition in Lagos, the Forum Creation Africa is honored to welcome the team of the upcoming movie Yohance. This bold and innovative project marks a new chapter in African cinema, blending science fiction with deeply rooted cultural narratives from across the continent. Created using cutting-edge Virtual Studio technology, the film introduces a fresh visual language and production pipeline.
With a creative team proudly international: directed by a Franco-American (with Martiniquan origins) filmmaker with actors from South Africa and Zimbabwe, music composed by a South African artist and sound design by an American collaborator; this is the first time a movie is produced with such an esthetic, such a pipeline and an optimized budget. A movie revolutionizing the industry.
A production of Federation MEAC (France) and Sanu Wara (U.S) with the collaboration of Canal+ (France).
