Seventy years after the first African-directed productions on the continent, the film industry is still precarious. In response, some festivals in Senegal are innovatively networking and collaborating to build capacity and enhance the circulation of both Senegalese and African films more broadly. However, such innovation is still under-researched within film festival studies, particularly in the context of the African continent. This chapter addresses this academic gap through an in-depth analysis of these collaborative forms. We describe them as “constellations of collaborations”, a non-hierarchical system of collaboration informally created but institutionalized through years of repetition. Drawing on ethnographic research at the Festival Films Femmes Afrique and the Festival StLouis’DOCS in Senegal, we shed light on the often-invisible links that play a crucial role in the representation and circulation of certain forms of African living cultural heritage. We argue that film festivals in Senegal operate as entangled constellations in film production and circulation.
