Kampala Slum Mobile Cinema Outreach ()

Festival start: 01 November 2024      Festival end: 30 November 2024

The Kampala Slum Mobile Cinema Outreach is a dynamic project aimed at bringing entertainment, education, and cultural exchange opportunities to underserved communities in Uganda.

Currently, operating in 2 slums in Entebbe and 3 slums in Kampala, our custom-designed Mobile Cinema Truck equipped with high-quality projection equipment and a sound system serves as the centerpiece for our activities.

Our main project activities include 50 Free open-air film screenings (documentaries, fiction films, and shorts), all centered around human rights-related themes relevant to the residents of the slums.

Following each screening, we facilitate engaging debates and discussions to encourage dialogue and community participation, serve to empower individuals with knowledge and advocacy tools, amplifying the voices, and fostering dialogue in marginalized groups for a more equitable and inclusive society where rights are respected and upheld.
