anfa, Irish, m. (gs. ~, pl. ~í).1. Storm, tempest.
anfa collective is a media outlet founded by Adelaide Thermes Kane, with the help of college friend Emma Sweeney, to share reviews and critiques of film, TV, Literature, and music. The aim is to curate a space for the showcasing of primarily Irish pieces of media and supporting other creatives within this area and industry.
Adelaide and Emma met in 2019 while they were studying at IADT Dun Laoghaire. There they completed their BA (Hons) in English, Media and Cultural studies. Disgruntled by the lack of jobs and following their love for media, writing, and judging others, together Adelaide and Emma launched anfa collective in 2023 after months of procrastinating. Through this collective, they now have a platform for their work and passion for both the film and music industries and the collective has been joined by a whole host of talented and passionate writers.
Work on the collective began in the Summer of 2023 with the website finally being launched on the 27th of August. With the addition of new member Conor, the collective had its official launch party in November at the Museum of Literature, Dublin where the first printed magazine was also released. Since its creation, anfa has expanded both in numbers and creative medium and plan to only get bigger!
