The Mashariki African Film Festival (MAFF) is one of East Africa’s most iconic film and cultural events a celebration of African cinema,
Storytelling, and artistic freedom. It brings together filmmakers, producers, and creatives from across the continent to share stories that shape the African identity on screen.
Mashariki needed a design partner who could visualize the emotion and energy of African cinema — modern yet rooted in heritage. The goal was to create a visual language that honored Africa’s diversity, while appealing to a global creative audience.
Tesnus Agency served as the festival’s creative design and branding partner, creating an artistic visual identity that resonates across print, digital, and event platforms.
Our work gave the festival a bold and cohesive look that matches its powerful voice in African cinema. The visuals helped position Mashariki as more than a festival as a cultural movement where design & film meet to tell the African story with pride & creativity.
