Hundreds of creatives among them filmmakers and other stakeholders turned out for the Creatives in Arts and Film Literacy (CAFIL) Program at the Mavvel Hotel in Embu County.
The CAFIL Program is an initiative of the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) in partnership with the Sports, Arts, and Social Development Fund (SASDF) and is tailored to empower creatives in Arts and Film to create content that upholds Kenya’s cultural values while safeguarding children from exposure to inappropriate audio-visual content.
The Program also aims to create awareness of the existing legal framework guiding the film industry in Kenya
During the forum, the creatives were sensitized about the KFCB’s mandate and programs, as well as the existing regulatory framework that guides the film sector in Kenya.
The creatives who engaged with the KFCB lauded the Board for initiating the program and pledged to work closely with the Board as it executes its regulatory mandate.
As part of the KFCB’s resolve to empower local creatives, the Board in collaboration with other relevant regulatory Government agencies whose mandates impact the film industry has developed a regulators’ handbook for film practitioners in Kenya.
The regulators’ handbook is part of the KFCB’s support towards capacity-building for creatives and industry stakeholders.
