List of African films of 2014


The film industries of the 54 countries that make up Africa produced over two hundred feature films in 2014. This article fully lists all non-pornographic films, including short films, that had a release date in that year and which were at least partly made by an African country. It does not include films first released in previous years that had release dates in 2014. Nor does it include films made in countries such as France, Spain or the United Kingdom, which though they have territories in Africa are primarily non-African states, unless they are co-productions with African countries.
Also included is an overview of the major events in African film, including film festivals and awards ceremonies, as well as lists of those films that have been particularly well received, both critically and financially. The year was particularly notable for the release of Timbuktu, the first Mauritanian film ever nominated for the Academy Award for best foreign language film.
