ARE YOU A LOVER OF FILM?

Then make sure you catch the Cinemafest @ The Design Indaba 2017 from 1-3 March at the FNCC from 6pm.

The Cinemafest officially launches us into a ‘Month of Movies’ in March, shining the spotlight on the Namibian film industry just before the Namibia Theatre and Film Awards on 25 March.

Look forward to ‘Coming Home’ and ‘Tjitji’ on the big screen, provocative cinechats with local filmmakers about the power of film right now and fresh ideas for the future.

The local film fraternity is excited to participate in the 2017 Design Indaba through hosting the 3-day CinemaFest in the evening at the FNCC with 99fm as media partner.  RedHot Film Productions and Joe Vision Production are facilitating the CinemaFest.

The Indaba offers the perfect opportunity to launch into a ‘Month of Movies’ in March, shining the spotlight on the Namibian film industry, where we are now in local and global context and where we hope to be in the future.

Come join us and be inspired!
