Mahen Bonetti is the founder and Executive Director of the New York African Film Festival, a non-profit arts organization founded in 1990, which aims to highlight the work of African filmmakers and share the culture of African film. Below she chooses 10 films to introduce audiences to African cinema.

"I have chosen 10 films which, I feel, begin to tell our stories in our own words and belong in the annals of international cinema. Some are classics, some are audience favorites, some reconnect us to our past, some reflect deep societal trends."
