Ten film projects have been selected for the 5th edition of the Ateliers de Toumaï. Hailing from seven African countries, they will be developed as part of our workshop, scheduled to take place in N’Djamena from 7 to 15 December 2026.

As part of the preparations for the 5th edition of the Ateliers de Toumaï, we are delighted to announce, on Wednesday 7 October 2026, the selection of the ten projects that will take part in our Film Lab.

They come from seven African countries, namely Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niger, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Burkina Faso and Sudan.
