Using @FilmmakersHO for climate action by using film to inspire behavioral change, community dialogue, and climate policy awareness. #FilmForClimateAction
Today, we successfully held our first film distribution masterclass & market, which brought together over 11 buyers and many sellers for a day of learning, sharing, and match-making. Next edition coming soon!
We have rolled out a new initiative dubbed "Mulika Filamu" whose objective is to promote Kenyan films by highlighting their trailers through the channels we own. To get your film considered, submit your trailer through the Link on the poster or the Link on our bio.
These are the trailers that won! They were awarded yesterday at the 2026 Trailer Edition of Filmmakers Hangout. Each of the winners was awarded cash prizes and a free trial by Explorer Music Group (EMG). Congratulations!
