At the 2025 SOTIGUI Awards ceremony held in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Senegalese cinema took home several of the event’s most prestigious honours — a sweeping victory that underscores West Africa’s growing strength on the continent’s screen.
What Went Down
Multiple films and performances from Senegal secured top spots, with the awards recognizing achievements across acting, directing, and technical categories. The sweep highlighted not only individual talent, but also the broader vitality of Senegal’s film industry.
Senegal’s success shows that the region’s filmmakers, actors, and crews are gaining continental — and perhaps global — recognition. The wins suggest African cinema is expanding beyond traditional hubs. Audiences are embracing stories from new corners, told with local authenticity and cinematic ambition.
