In the last two years, Nigeria and Ghana have worked with international partners on projects, resulting in co-productions with countries across Africa, Europe and all over the world.

In filmmaking, a co-production happens when producers or production companies from two or more countries come together to make a film. The partners can share financing, talent, production resources, expertise and distribution opportunities.

For filmmakers, co-productions can open doors to funding and audiences beyond their home countries, while also creating opportunities for collaboration across different film industries.

Swipe to see countries Nigeria and Ghana have collaborated with since 2024.

Adversity is rarely invited, yet it is part of the human experience. In Black Rock City, artists and their communities come together to forge brilliant ideas, only to witness them transform in an instant by unexpected and even phantasmagorical forces beyond their control.

In these moments, connection is born. You learn that when the comforts of the world fall away, strength isn’t built alone — it’s created with the community that surrounds you.
Through the dust and the unforeseen trials, the Burning Man community reveals again and again that resilience and connection are inseparable.

The storm destroyed the sculpture, but not our vibe. 😎
Still smiling, still united — hopping on the truck toward the temple.
Endings are just new beginnings. On to the next adventure!

💧 You can see which way the winds danced across the playa.
💦 We bend. We don’t break.
