About Mahen Bonetti

Mahen Bonetti originally from Sierra Leone, West Africa is the Founder of The African Film

Festival inc., producers of the New York African Film Festival one of the largest film festivals
dedicated to celebrating African cinema in the US.

Mahen grew up during an era of Africa that was inspirational and empowering, having
witnessed in real time Sierra Leones transition from colonial rule to independence. Her vast
knowledge of post colonial African politics stems from the fact that her parents, in particular
the maternal side of her family were heavily involved in the political transition during this era.
Her mothers brother was the first Prime Minister of Sierra Leone Sir Milton Margai and her
father, Doyle Sumner acted as Education Minster and later on Finance minister in Sierra
Leones new independent government.
A historian and documentarian at heart, Mahens passion for shedding positive light on the
images of Africans is evident in the powerful programming her festival produces year in year
out. With the likes of Ousmane Sembene(considerd to be the Father of African Cinema),
Tunde Kelani, (Dir. Dazzling Mirage, Maami) Abderrahmane Sissako (Dir. Timbuktu) , Kunle
Afolayan (Dir. October 1, Figurine), Souleymane Ciss (Dir. Yeelen), Lupita Nyongo (Dir. In
my Genes) attending the festival with their films, the venue is a meeting point for African
filmmakers and African film lovers from all over the world.
