The African Diaspora International Film Festival (ADIFF) (originally African Diaspora Film Festival) was founded in 1992 by French-Malian Diarah N'Daw-Spech and her husband, Reinaldo Barroso-Spech, a Cuban of Haitian and Jamaican descent. As young cinema enthusiasts who rarely found movies that reflected their Black experiences, the couple founded ADIFF to showcase the lives and realities of people of African descent around the world. [1] [2] The festival screens films from Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Although based in New York City, the organization hosts festivals in Chicago and Washington, D.C. as well. [3]

The most recent event took place from 29 November to 15 December 2024. [4]
