FIBBY KIORIA/HAWA ESSUMAN/Manyatta Screenings: SHOW THE RIGHT FILM

In rebuilding an audience, what is considered the ‘right’ film? This Cine Lecture looks at the critical considerations for the films shown on a platform such as Manyatta Screenings and why some films do not suit.

There was once a cinema going culture in Kenya. Interestingly, as the New Wave of East African Cinema grew, the cinemas were closing down. Mobile viewing spaces came to a halt.  How do we rebuild spaces and audiences for the films made in Eastern Africa? Manyatta Screenings’ answer to this question is to grow a local regional audience by showing the films, shorts specifically, from the region to the region.

This cine lecture looks at the critical considerations for the films shown on a platform such as Manyatta Screenings and why some films do not suit.
