Held annually in Kenya, FilmAid’s Film Festival strives to fulfill FilmAid’s vision of informing, inspiring and empowering refugees and other marginalized populations throughout the world. Through FilmAid’s extensive programming in Nairobi, Kakuma and Dadaab, each year, FilmAid is able to train, support and empower more than 50 refugee youth to tell their own stories through the power of film. In addition, the Film Festival provides independent filmmakers worldwide the opportunity to share stories with refugees in the Kenyan camps, allowing for shared artistic communication.
The 2015 FilmAid Film Festivals will run on the 14th – 18th of September in Dadaab and Kakuma and the 23rd – 25th of September in Nairobi. It is sponsored by Movies that Matter and theU.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration.
