In August 2024, the Tanzanian government allocated several acres of land in Zanzibar to renowned actor Idris Elba for the establishment of a modern film studio. This initiative aims to bolster Tanzania’s status as a burgeoning hub for film production and cultural exchange.

The Akuna Film Studio in Tanzania is envisioned as a state-of-the-art facility that will serve as a creative nexus for filmmakers across Africa and beyond. The studio will offer comprehensive production services, including sound stages, post-production suites, and training programs for local talent.

Our team is currently actively engaged with the Tanzanian government on this development, working closely to bring the Akuna Film Studio to life. This initiative will establish a state-of-the-art production hub, fostering African storytelling, supporting local talent, and positioning Tanzania as a leading destination for film production.
