We are the Cump Film Festival, an annual based student’s festival comprised of young passionate film enthusiasts. Cump Film Festival is the first independent student’s film festival in Kenya, that was founded mainly to facilitate working platforms for students and budding film makers where they can interactively share ideas, network with seasoned film practitioners and get equipped with both technical and business skills.
All the directors and producers of selected films are invited, and expected to attend and talk about their work in post-screening discussions. Renowned filmmakers, journalists or experts in the subject of the film shall host these discussions.This is the first edition of the CUMP Film Festival and we are striving to have it earn recognition in both the local and international grid. This event guarantees a high level of professionalism. Being the first edition the event should set the bar for all the other CUMP film festival editions that will be held in future. We then strive to shun away from mediocrity and offer nothing but excellence.
Apart from screenings, the event will have a series of special events such as:
• Talks by industry professionals who will guide on the do’s and don’ts of film-making.
• Film workshops where students with little or no film making experience will learn how to go about it by engaging in one-on-one discussions as well as asking questions to the relevant personnel.
• An awarding session where outstanding films will be awarded under distinguished categories and an after party thereafter.
However,CUMP does not lock out other interested students from all over the world and have a moment of connection of great ideas as students .
