MFF is implementing an interdisciplinary “knowledge centre”, an Academy, with a wide range of activities as part of a coherent year-long program.

Because MFF always defined itself as a multidisciplinary platform aimed at developing creativity and innovation in different areas, foster collaboration across these diverse areas produce knowledge in various formats and increase international networking and partnerships with actors not only from other African countries but also form other continents, the MFF Academy is framed accordingly to these defining characteristics.As one of the 3 pillars of MFF (Festival, Academy & Publications), it is divided in 2 interconnected branches: Researches & Residencies.

Through research, the participants engage in rigorous exploration into scientific, artistic domains and local knowledge, blurring the lines between disciplines and challenging the conventional thinking. Here, the emphasis is on curiosity, collaboration and in search of innovative ideas that transcend borders disciplinary.

Our originating story is at the center of all MFF activities and initiatives: it presents the work and impact of the other MFF pillars over two years and brings together the innovative Maputo network to engage in intercultural dialogue and exchange with the world, inviting good practices and critical and creative thinking.
