In an event filled with enthusiastic up-and-coming filmmakers, the Filamu Film Festival was a cinema hub to marvel at.
Opening the conference hall stage was Linus Mwaura, a sound expert, with an insightful masterclass on the essential aspects of sound and music in filmmaking. He emphasized the techniques each and every technician should adhere to in order to get the pitch, tone, and vocal right. These techniques need to be sound so as to serve their purpose under the five elements of sound namely; Dialogue, Sound Effects, Folly, Music, and ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement).
The host institution, Multimedia University, capped off Day One with a screening of short films from its students. Each film stood out, with different themes and techniques of filmmaking attesting to this.
After an early morning screening, Day Two was reeled in by Rafiki Hub’s Kate Snow with a masterclass centered on actors but went on to catch the eyes of other creatives such as musicians and painters who saw potential for the platform to promote their works.
This was followed by a scriptwriting masterclass with Njoro wa Uba and Varshita writer Lawrence Murage, the festival came to a glamorous close with the award ceremony celebrating the films that best stood out to the jury panel and the audience.
Multimedia’s Filamu Film Festival yet again showcased its place as a growing cinema hub in an industry with immense potential.
