Congratulations to Kibera HIP HOP FILM FESTIVAL

Hot Sun Foundation is pleased to be a sponsor of the second annual Kibera HIP HOP FILM FESTIVAL, which offers Kibera youth an opportunity to view and talk about good films from around the world. Based on our goal of social transformation through art and media, youth in Kibera are learning to analyze what films mean to their lives and learn more about the world.

Greetings from Hot Sun Foundation!

Despite harsh living conditions, youth in Kibera, east Africa’s largest slum, have incredible talent and enthusiasm to tell their stories through video and film.

Through training and production in film and video, working with Hot Sun Foundation, youth in Kibera present a powerful, peaceful image of Kibera to the world.

Together we contribute to innovation in the expanding film industry in east Africa with a model of youth participation and inclusion.

Our most recent activities include a series of workshops with Kibera youth at the Kenya Film Commission led by Mary Beth Fielder, professor at the prestigious Film School of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. A follow up workshop teamed Kibera youth with Kenyan film professionals.

COMING SOON… Second Annual HIP HOP FILM FESTIVAL in Kibera focused on the theme of Peace and Conflict. Watch for it!
