All dressed up for the Premiere! |
Thursday night was the official opening of the Kenya International Film Festival and despite waiting a few hours for the Vice President to arrive and give his official speech it was a great night. The strictly black tie affair meant an opportunity to dress up and step out in style! Even though after all that standing around in high heels meant really, really sore feet at the end of the night, meeting a lot of inspirational women made me a very happy wanderer. The female actresses, directors, producers, editors and writers made me feel inspired, empowered and more focused on my own direction. The film the Rugged Priest was really good and even though Kenyan films have some catching up to do with international film standards in terms of editing and sound production it was more than enjoyable. The wonderful Rogers Otieno, writer, director and star of My Moving Home and one of my favourite interviewees took me along as his partner in crime. If you get the opportunity to see the film, it is worth it and if you are in Nairobi make sure you check out the rest of the Film Festival.
One Love
It was my pleasure to take you along :)
