The Women in Film Uganda team was proud to participate in the 4th Edition of the Film & Culture Market, an annual platform organized by the Kampala Film Development Foundation (KFDF). The event brought together stakeholders from across the creative industries to explore how business and creativity can drive the growth of Uganda’s Creative Economy.

A Space Where Business Meets Creativity

The Film & Culture Market continues to stand out as a one-of-a-kind marketplace where innovators, investors, and cultural leaders connect. It creates meaningful opportunities for filmmakers, artists, and cultural entrepreneurs to engage with business leaders, potential partners, and policy influencers.

For Women in Film Uganda, this edition was more than just an event – it was a chance to showcase our work, share our vision, and amplify the role of women in shaping Uganda’s film and creative industries.

Hosting Key Industry Leaders

We were honored to welcome and engage with several high-level leaders who visited our booth, including:

• Hassan Saleh, Managing Director of MultiChoice Uganda (DStv) – the biggest funder of African content.
• H.E. Jan Sadek, Ambassador & Head of the European Union Delegation to Uganda.
• Francis Peter Ojede, Executive Director of the Uganda National Cultural Centre (UNCC).
• Other distinguished stakeholders who continue to shape the future of film and culture in Uganda and beyond.

Their presence at the Women in Film booth affirmed the importance of women’s voices and perspectives in the broader creative ecosystem.

Looking Ahead

Our participation at the Film & Culture Market reinforced our commitment to building strong networks and partnerships that open doors for women filmmakers. We are excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead – from collaborations with international bodies to capacity-building initiatives that support emerging talent.

As we continue to grow, Women in Film Uganda remains dedicated to empowering women, advocating for inclusivity, and ensuring that women take their rightful place at the center of Uganda’s evolving film industry.

✨ The future is bright for women in film. Together, we will shape a stronger, more inclusive Creative Economy.
