    The annual New York Forum of Amazigh Film (NYFAF) is a showcase of films about the Amazigh peoples of North Africa. NYFAF's mission is to create a space where filmmakers, artists, and scholars whose work focuses on indigenous Amazigh identity and culture can gather yearly to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with a diverse audience, fostering dialogue across local, transnational, and global issues. Through Q&A sessions, live performances, and exhibitions, the Forum engages students, faculty, and the community in experiential Global Learning as it seeks to disseminate Amazigh cinema and promote an understanding of the unique histories, cultures, and languages of Amazigh peoples in North Africa and the diaspora.

    The first English language collection that examines the emergence and history of Amazigh visual media and actively contributes to decolonizing the study of Amazigh artistic expression. All NYFAF team members participated in this collection.

    "The New York Forum of Amazigh Film offers a rare glimpse into North African culture...My students were enraptured by the films and astutely observed and wrote about the films. I wish I had the chance to see all the films presented. Hats off to Habiba and Lucy and all the efforts of everyone involved with NYFAF."
