The inaugural TUFA Awards come with an impressive package - cash prizes, capacity-building opportunities, and distribution and marketing of winning films on renowned platforms for monetization. A total of eight locally produced films have been nominated and will be screened during the event.
Speaking during the meeting, Ms. Muluka applauded the organizers for their commitment to recognizing, empowering, and showcasing local talent. She reaffirmed KFCB’s unwavering support for initiatives that nurture youth talent, particularly in the film sector, in alignment with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
