KIBERA BIG open air SCREENING Sat. August 9, 2008




Hot Sun Foundation and their partners Film Aid International,Kwani? Lit Fest and Africalia made the screening possible in Kibera’s Kamukunji grounds.

Hot Sun Foundation members and the Film Aid crew helped in the erection of the big screen and other chores that made sure we were right on time for the long awaited day.

Visitors like Arno Kopecky of Nation media, Ismail ,a child soldier from Sierra Leone and photographer and filmmaker, Mohinder Dhillon attended the screening.

The crowd was over a thousand people, who were delighted with the short Kenyan made films. Members of the audience said that in the next few years Kenyan films will be recognized globally.

Goddy Ojiambo was the mc and with his jokes he really entertained the crowd. Kiberans enjoyed the show and hope that it can be screened on a weekly basis.

Thanks to all the partners that made the screening possible. Special thanks to Charles Otieno of Film Aid International and Nathan Collett of Hot Sun Foundation who supervised the whole event.
