The Amakula Film Festival is upon us.
Now in its 11th edition, the four-day festival will kick off this Wednesday, March 14 and will be hosted in two venues. The selected venues to host the festival are; Kampala Film School ( 14-15 March) where focus will be put on the students’ film culture in Uganda and Uganda Museum (16-17 March) whose programme will put attention on issues affecting the Film industry today. There will also be screening of feature films in a drive-in-cinema-setting where audiences will be watching in the comfort of their cars with silent headphones.
During the festival, the best films in select categories will be honored. This year’s Four Golden Impala Awards will be handed out to honor the Best International Feature Film, Best East Africa Short Film, Best International Documentary Film and the newly added Best East Africa Students Film.
Organized by Bayimba Cultural Foundation in partnership with Kampala Film School and the Uganda Museum, the festival aims to contribute to a vibrant local film industry by facilitating, presenting and promoting local film productions while also offering a professional networking platform for the film making community.
