Amakula International Film Festival

In 2011, Amakula Kampala introduced the Amakula Kampala Cinema Caravan Festival as a means of expanding the activities of the Amakula Kampala International Film Festival which has taken place annually in Kampala since 2004.

In the intervening time the festival developed its mobile cinema in order to reach out to the rest of the country. Basing themselves on an extensive network they are now bringing together both their programs by expanding the time frame of the festival to become a tour reaching individuals in and outside of the capital with a theme that concerns all.

When Uganda celebrates its fiftieth anniversary of independence Amakula Kampala will devote itself to a festival and projects devoted to considering the meaning of independence under the theme of Safeguarding Independence.

It will be a year of celebration but also a year for reflection about what independence means; what happened with the ideals at the time of independence; how much of it was achieved, and what was not.
