The African Diaspora International Film Festival (ADIFF) (originally African Diaspora Film Festival) is a film festival founded in 1992 by the French-Malian Diarah N'Daw-Spech and her husband, Reinaldo Barroso-Spech, a Cuban of Haitian and Jamaican descent. The couple has said that as young cinema enthusiasts, they rarely found movies that reflected their Black experiences, so they created ADIFF to showcase the lives and realities of people of African descent around the world.[1][2][3] The festival screens films from Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The organization is based in New York City and also holds events in Chicago and Washington, D.C.[4]

The most recent event took place from 29 November to 15 December 2024.[5]
