ICAPA TRUST
@icapatrust.bsky.social
Arts Promoter| Runs the International Images Film Festival for Women (IIFF)| We are about all things film and women - women's stories must continue to be told.
Why do we soften our stories, afraid they are too much? It’s time to flip the script!
At ICAPA Trust, through IIFF, we believe African stories, especially by women, should not be softened to be accepted.
Our truth is powerful – even when it’s uncomfortable.
So tell it as it is – UNAPOLOGETICALLY.

Digital violence is real, and its impact can be devastating. From online harassment to offline attacks, women are often the targets.
Many people suffer in silence from online harassment, but all forms of violence and abuse MUST be reported, and all perpetrators MUST be brought to book.

Excited to share that our very own Marwa Ali, an alumni of ICAPA’s Equal Voices Story and Script Development Workshop, had her documentary selected for #FESPACO for a Post Production Grant!
We love to see our talented ladies rise, and we hope she rises even higher!

#Binga Outreach 2025
With film and roleplay, we tackled #VAWG and child abuse, and the community chose justice over silence as they rewrote the narratives of the films!
Many thanks to our funding partners Wongai and Jessica from @CanEmbZimbabwe for coming to join us in Muchesu.

Meet Safi Faye (1943-2023), the first African woman to direct a commercially distributed film. Her 1975 debut, Kaddu Beykat (Letter from My Village), critiqued colonial-era agricultural policies and was banned in Senegal. Safi’s legacy as a filmmaker and advocate for change is unmatched. 🎬💚

RED ROOMS (2023, Shudder, #film)
Stupefying, hypnotic, enrapturing, dizzyingly great filmmaking. The surest direction, the wildest premise, the nerviest script, and a lead performance that actors dream about delivering once in a career.
Oh yeah, it's about a woman. Go in absolute-zero cold.
