Day 8 - Swahili Day and Awards Night!

Swahili Day is a new and important addition to this year’s ZIFF. Swahili stars such as Kanumba, Mona Lisa, Haji Adam and many others will be gracing the screens of Africa House and The House of Wonders bringing us the best in East African cinema! And they'll be coming to the daily Q&A at the Seyyida at midday today!

Awards night! And tonight is of course the night all our film makers have been waiting for. The ZIFF, SIGNIS, Verona and Ousmane Sembene juries have watched over 45 hours of film this week – and tonight the prizes will be awarded!

Also on…

Workshop on African dance with the super-talented Kori Arts at 16:00 and 17:00 in the Mambo Club (Old Fort)

Also in the Mambo club after the awards at 22:00, we’ll all be getting down to Kidumu, the Burundian music superstar followed by the very best breaks and beats brought to you by the ZIFF DJs!
