Matamba Film Labs for Women is a New-Media Institution registered and based in Zimbabwe. Apart from day to day Production, we equip and empower the new generation of women filmmakers/ storytellers with original Zimbabwean and African perspectives to produce compelling films and digital content in the midst of a male dominated industry. We provide safe, non- exploitative environment for women to learn new media storytelling skills. In addition, we engage with other regional and global filmmakers who are producing commercial content for prime time and cinema, with a hope of transferring knowledge, skill and confidence to our local women filmmakers.
