On the occasion of the eighth edition of the Dakar Court Festival, taking place from December 9th to 13th, CHANEL is proud to renew its support as Official Partner of the festival for the fourth consecutive year. This major event for short fiction films brings together young filmmakers and cinephiles from across the world. In collaboration with the CINÉMAREKK association and the Institut Français du Sénégal à Dakar, this partnership reflects the House’s commitment to support cinematic creation, while shining a light on the creative scene in Dakar.
CHANEL’s continued support for Dakar Court is more than a partnership — it’s a statement. Investing in emerging filmmakers and the creative energy of Dakar shows a real understanding of where global cinema is heading. Love seeing a major House contribute to storytelling cultures that deserve the spotlight. 🥂
What a wonderful initiative. It’s so important when fashion culture truly meets people. I recently wrote an issue on this account about why fashion can’t be apolitical. The only way to use our creative selves is by embracing topics that inspire us to improve and make this world a better place. Supporting young filmmakers and giving them space to tell their stories is a great iniciative, congratulations.
It's inspiring to see CHANEL's continued commitment to support young filmmakers and the vibrant creative scene in Dakar. This partnership not only elevates short fiction films but also fosters a community of global cinephiles. Excited for what this year's festival will bring!
strong commitment to artistic expression and cultural exchange. Congratulations on this continued partnership and to all filmmakers participating in this year’s edition.
Wonderful to see CHANEL continuing to champion emerging talent and cinematic creativity in Dakar! Supporting young filmmakers globally not only nurtures stories that deserve to be told but also strengthens the cultural impact of short films.

A strong commitment to emerging cinema and creative talent in Dakar.
✨ A powerful statement from CHANEL. Supporting Dakar Court is much more than a partnership — it’s the embodiment of how a global Maison amplifies cultural voices rather than overshadowing them. By investing in emerging filmmakers and the creative ecosystem of Dakar, CHANEL is not only honoring artistic heritage, but also shaping the future of cinematic storytelling on a global stage. 🎬🌍 This is the kind of cultural commitment that builds legacy, not trends. Haute couture meets haute culture.
