Gospel Cinema Strengthens Christian Filmmaking In Africa, Launches Film Project

By Elegbede Abiodun

Gospel Cinema International has officially declared the launch of the Africa Gospel Film Project (AGFP), a bold, multi-year capacity-building and film production initiative designed to equip African Christian filmmakers with professional skills, spiritual depth, and global distribution pathways.

Africa is home to over 600 million Christians, yet African faith-based films remain significantly underrepresented in global catalogues. AGFP was created to address this gap by training filmmakers, producing premium-quality faith-based content, and strategically connecting Africa’s Christian film ecosystem to the global market.

The project will launch its first phase with a 6-Day Immersive Filmmaking & Spiritual Formation Program, scheduled to be held April 13–18, 2026, in Nigeria, followed by the production of an 8-episode faith-based series later in the year.

“Film is one of the most powerful tools shaping culture and belief today,” said Bright Wonder Obasi, president of Gospel Cinema International. “Africa Gospel Film Project is not just about making films—it is about shaping storytellers who understand both excellence and spiritual responsibility.”

AGFP will focus on:

• Professional training in screenwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, producing, and acting

• Deep spiritual formation and mentorship

• Collaborative production and international distribution pathways.

Gospel Cinema International is a faith-driven film development organization committed to training, producing, and distributing impactful Christian films that shape culture and inspire faith globally.

Applications and partnership discussions are now open.
