Now in its 14th year, FilmAid Kenya’s Annual Film Festival is a multi-day event that celebrates the work of young refugee and host community filmmakers through activities such as film screening sessions and dialogues within the refugee camps and host communities. The festival celebrates the creative self-expression and ambitious determination of young refugee and host community filmmakers demanding to tell their own stories and represent their communities.

2021 FILMAID KENYA’S FILM FESTIVAL: ISPEAK. 2 INFORM. 2 ENGAGE. 2 INSPIRE.

The 2021 festival is celebrating the individual and collective voice around the theme of Inform. Engage. Inspire. This year’s festival will showcase stories that inform, engage and inspire communities, as stories are the catalyst for change as any one person’s story can change the way we think — and in changing the way enough people think, it can change our world! From stories that inform on the impact of climate change, to personal stories that engage in addressing those barriers that hold us back, to stories that inspire action and resolve on the resilience of the human spirit in getting through a global pandemic world!

Date: 18th September 2021. Time: 1900 hours – 2200 hours EAT.
