The Bagamoyo Film Collective (BaFiCo) began as a communal film project in 2015 and evolved into a three-year exchange program for students, artists, and theater performers from and in Bagamoyo and Berlin. Throughout its existence, BaFiCo has focused on personal and cultural stories, exploring various topics in a way that can be understood by both local and international audiences, bridging the gap between local storytelling traditions and international film aesthetics.
