FESTIVAL GUIDELINES IN ENGLISH

MISSION & OBJECTIVE
Our team will be curating the feature-length and short film dramas, animation and experimental and documentaries, directed and/or written by women filmmakers from around the world. Our shorts program will be selected from those submissions by our programming committee.

The mandate of the UDADA Film Festival is to:

- Facilitate interaction between women filmmakers; and women filmmakers and their audiences;
- Support and encourage women involved in film production;
- Increase the exposure of new works written and/or directed by women
- Showcase women work to the Kenyan and International film industry for future ventures;
- Provide opportunities for professional development;
- Provide a marketplace for industry. In essence, a reverse trade mission providing local filmmakers and producers access to the national and international film industry;
- Develop and offer youth programs to develop the next generation of filmmakers;

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The Festival week also features workshops, forums and face-to-face meetings for filmmakers and producers. The Forum focusses on the business of filmmaking while the Festival celebrates international works by women.
