Welcome!

BLACK OCEAN is created to resolve the major African cinema problem which is that there is no pan African film production studio that is able to accompany the filmmakers with their projects from the development stage to sales and distribution.

BLACK OCEAN’s mission is to promote and support an African and Afro-European perspective in films developed by filmmakers of the continent and the diasporas.

BLACK OCEAN is working with different groups which include the industry, the professional organizations, the scholars and writers, the private investors, the artists and talents, the technicians...

BLACK OCEAN will be able to handle films production through out the continent and develop partnership with European productions and funding organisations.
