Lola Kenya Screen

Pursuant to one of its objectives of improving the quality of local film production and developing an audience base for the same, Lola Kenya Screen runs a monthly film forum for audiovisual media players in Nairobi.

The fora are run every last Monday of the month in collaboration with Goethe-Institut in Kenya.

LKSFF brings together filmmakers, film critics, film writers, students, scholars, policy-makers within the governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations, associations, funders, actors and actresses, social awareness groups, cultural agencies and other players with a stake in the film sector.

During LKSFF a selected local film, usually eastern Africa, is screened followed by an open discussion based on the film as pertains to filmmaking in the region.

The films exhibited and discussions arising from them are reviewed and published by ArtMatters.Info with a view to promoting the films; the stories are picked by film festivals, media schools and international funding agencies around the world; the articles are also picked by journalists and other mass media for reproduction.

Lola Kenya Screen Film Forum, therefore, is a platform that brings together players in the audiovisual media sector to watch and discuss short films in eastern Africa, to exchange ideas on how to improve film production, to create a sustainable market for moving image products and service, and to network.

Held in conjunction with Goethe-Institut, Lola Kenya Screen Film Forum (LKSFF) was first held at its base—Goethe-Institut, Nairobi—on December 15, 2005 after its inception as a section of the annual Lola Kenya Screen audiovisual event for children and youth on October 15, 2005. Since then, every month sees film directors, producers, screen writers, journalists, mass media students, policymakers, academics, researchers, and a host of other players in the audiovisual, arts, and culture, and related fields congregate at Goethe-Institut for open discussion aimed at critiquing, encouraging and exploring ways of how to integrate film production in Kenya and eastern Africa with other socio-cultural and economic sectors in order to come up with a vibrant film industry.
