The Slum Film Festival is the first ever film platform-featuring stories from slums, about slum realities and made by film-makers from the slums and marginalized areas around the world. It is a celebration of the creativity of filmmakers living and working in slums. It is also an opportunity to show a range of films within slum communities with limited or no access to cinema.
The first pilot edition of the festival was celebrated with success in August 2011. This program has now been extended and expanded into workshops, training sessions and networking opportunities and is now celebrating its 9th Edition. The festival has reached out for submissions from all across Africa and the world with 8000+ films submitted over the last 8 years. It has gathered audiences of thousands of slum dwellers and urban culture enthusiasts.
