Imani,
The EastAfrican about the state of the film industry in Uganda and Europe.
You were the first woman to make a feature film in Uganda titled Imani in 2010. How has your film journey been like since?
I have been immersed in documentary film and online content, which is the future of media content in Africa. TV is dead abroad and it’s all about streaming now. We curate what we watch and decide when we want to watch it. Most under 30’s don’t watch TV, they are online. This is my area of specialisation even if I still work on cinematic long-form projects in Europe and Africa at my company ceekayfilms.com.
