About the festival

Founded in 2020 by Taye Balogun, a Nigerian-born, Nairobi-based filmmaker, the NGO International Film & Knowledge Forum began as an international impact film festival before evolving into a knowledge-sharing platform. It combines film screenings, knowledge sessions, workshops and discussions centred on the Sustainable Development Goals, aimed at NGOs and development practitioners.

Editions have been held in Rome (2021), Nairobi (2023) and Melbourne (2024 and 2025). The organisation, registered as a non-profit in Australia, has announced a new Nairobi edition for 2027, with exact dates not yet confirmed.
