Yanibes Foundation

Event Memberships

Yanibes Foundation has developed event-based membership platforms linked to its flagship events, AfroCannes and AfroBerlin. These memberships extend engagement beyond the event itself, offering continuous access to a curated international community of creatives, industry leaders, and decision-makers.

Year-round access to the Yanibes creative ecosystem

Yanibes Foundation curates high-impact international events that sit at the intersection of culture, business, and social impact. Our flagship platforms are strategically embedded within the world’s most influential film markets, creating unique opportunities for sponsors to engage with a global creative ecosystem.

AfroCannes Connect
The official post-event networking platform of AfroCannes, designed to sustain connections, collaborations, and visibility beyond the Cannes Film Festival.

AfroBerlin Connect
A pre- and post-event platform that activates conversations ahead of the European Film Market (Berlinale) and continues industry engagement after the event.

Together, these platforms create a year-round ecosystem around Yanibes’ flagship events.
