MultiChoice Uganda, a Pay TV company, has in partnership with the communications regulator, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), and other partners, launched the Uganda Film Festival (UFF) Regional competitions and training sessions across three regions in Uganda.
These competitions and accompanying workshops, which are part of the 12th edition of the UFF will take place across various regions in Uganda, including Central (Mubende), West (Ntungamo), East (Tororo), and North (Lira), providing a platform for local filmmakers to showcase their talent and gain industry insights.
The workshops, which will run alongside the competitions, will focus on key industry topics, including content acquisition processes, production best practices, and monetization strategies for filmmakers.
The competitions and workshops will culminate in the Uganda Film Festival Awards Gala, where the regional winners will be honoured for their achievements.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop Uganda’s film industry and position local talent for success at national and international levels.
