Founded in 2007 by Jenny Lee, the name of the Festival comes from a word spoken in the Senna dialect in Mozambique Ndinadzawapanga (pronounced Nah-jah-pang-ga) and means  I Will Tell. It speaks to the power of story telling to provoke change at an individual and societal level.  The Festival is now a hybrid event that runs in London, Florida and Trinidad and Tobago in person with an enhanced virtual experience available globally online.  We support a range of established and emerging filmmakers and have premiered films such as Ava DuVernay’s 13th,  hosted high profile talent such as Lashana Lynch (007), global icons such as Raymond Santana (Central Park 5).

The Story Of I WILL TELL

The Story of I Will TEll
The Story of I Will TEll

Our mission

I Will Tell is the festival of choice globally for filmmakers who tell those stories that would otherwise not be heard, the event of choice for those seeking inspiration, and the expression of the love to our world in a way that is relevant, tangible and meaningful

Ndinadzawapanga! What's in a name?

Anel, a young, ambitious girl from Mozambique shares with a visiting missionary her dreams to travel the world and help others. But a young man from the village reminds her that girls are not allowed to go to school, so her dreams could never become a reality. Although visibly deflated, Anel’s bold response would inspire thousands of people over the next 15 years … Ndinadzawapanga! (I Will Tell)

Locations

I Will Tell is held in London, USA and the Caribbean. In addition the livestreaming of the festival gives access to filmmakers and film lovers from across the globe

What a great festival to be involved with. The communication throughout was really great and if it wasn't for the time difference I would have been more involved. A great selection of films on show and Q&A's as well. I hope they continue their success in the next few years!

I absolutely loved and was honored to be a part of this festival. The programming was excellent and our filmmaker Q&A was very inspiring and a great way to connect.

We were deeply honored and grateful that “The McHenry Trial - Don't Judge a Kid by Their Hoodie" was an Official Selection in the I Will Tell International Film Festival. The event was well-organized with great communication. May the festival continue to provide filmmakers a platform that fosters creativity and self expression.

A wonderful festival to be a part of. The energy and communication around the films being screened, Q&A's and awards ceremony was unmatched.

This film festival is engaging and groundbreaking. Jenny and her team have mastered that art of the film festival profiling the most important stories of our generation - well done.
