Over 200 delegates will meet in Nairobi next week to find ways of promoting and accelerating development of Africa’s film industry through commercial funding.
They are drawn from the
film, banking and media industries and the two-day Africa Film Finance
Summit scheduled for Thursday and Friday will offer a platform for
financial institutions, film makers, entrepreneurs and regulators to
learn from experienced peers on what it takes to fund the sector.
Speaking
ahead of the summit, Pan African Federation of Filmmakers (FEPACI)
executive director Jane Murago Munene on Friday said the goal is to
mobilise Sh20.2 billion ($200 million) in two years for the sector’s
growth.
“The funding seeks to enhance the quality and
quantity of films, documentaries and other forms of audiovisual
productions,” she said.
The summit is part of the Ambika Afrika Safari Film Festival scheduled for the same week from October 12 to 19.
