The Centre for Digital Humanities, University of Lagos, CEDHUL, in partnership with Transhumanists Africa will host the live events for the Artificial Intelligence Short Film Festival taking place from November 21 to 23, 2025.
The festival, themed “African Visions of African Futures,” is the first of its kind to spotlight AI-created short films from African filmmakers and diaspora creatives.
Through the groundbreaking collaboration, CEDHUL would serve as the primary venue for live screenings, panel discussions, workshops, and networking events designed to explore how emerging technologies are reshaping Africa’s cultural and creative landscape.
“We are thrilled to partner with Transhumanists Africa to bring this important conversation to life,” said Professor Tunde Ope-Davies, Director of CEDHUL.
“The intersection of digital humanities, artificial intelligence, and African storytelling represents an exciting frontier, and we are proud to help foster this dialogue here in Lagos,” he added.
