The 2025 edition of the IREPRESENT International Film Festival will explore the intricate balance between personal freedoms and the collective responsibility that sustains a democracy. Set against the backdrop of contemporary global challenges, the festival invites filmmakers, thinkers, and audiences to engage with the essential questions: How do we reconcile the right to free expression with the need for societal order? In an age where digital platforms amplify both the promise and peril of free speech, what is the true cost of unrestrained liberty?
This year’s theme, “FREEDOM: Rights and Responsibility,” delves into the tension between individual rights — such as freedom of speech, personal autonomy, and the pursuit of prosperity — and the role of the state and institutions in curbing those freedoms in the interest of public safety, national security, or the rights of others. It also interrogates the impact of misinformation and disinformation in the digital age, where the line between truth and falsehood is often blurred. In an era of social media dominance, where the speed of information often outpaces truth, how do we safeguard the sanctity of truth?
The Conceptual framework of iREPRESENT Documentary Film Forum is AFRICA IN SELF-CONVERSATION, and it is designed to promote awareness about the power of documentary format to serve as a means of deepening and sharing social and cultural education as well as encouraging participatory democracy in our societies. iREP is conceptualized to create a platform of awareness and expression for aspiring and practising filmmakers who are creating socially relevant documentary films to positively impact our world. To fully engage an array of trans-cultural creativity, iREP will provide a forum for everyone’s ingenuity to be showcased without prejudice to style or subject. iREP celebrates the ever-expanding world of documentary films by inviting talents from across the globe to share ideas on trends and technological advancements in the format.

DOCUMENTARY NETWORK AFRICA (DNA)
About 150 documentary filmmakers from across Africa came together in October 2001 at the People-2-People Documentary Conference held in Johannesburg, South Africa, and decided it was “time for African filmmakers to do things for themselves”. A joint resolution that emerged after the three-day conference created a new organization, Documentary Network Africa (DNA), and the participating filmmakers agreed “to work together to create a network and process to empower both our own storytelling and each other”. The vision of Documentary Network Africa is “to promote the importance of African documentary in the genre, and to use this to promote our view of Africa”
