Actress Viola Davis was part of the line-up for the 31st Afreximbank Annual Meeting and AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum which started on Tuesday.
The managing partner of JVL Media signed a Memorandum of Intent representing a formal agreement between Afreximbank, Fund for Export Development in Africa (FEDA) and JVL to foster the advancement of publishing and Africa’s film development value chain.
The Pan-African development bank double event is under the theme Owning Our Destiny: Economic Prosperity on the Platform of Global Africa and is taking place in The Bahamas.
The collaboration also intends to facilitate the promotion of African narratives in the global cinema industry through the Creative Africa Nexus Programme, a multifaceted intervention aimed at supporting and developing Africa’s rapidly growing creative sector.
Following the singing Davis took part in a discussion that centred on the African experience and a bit on her personal life. (AC)
