The Broadcast Film and Music Africa 2014 exhibition,
organized by AITEC at the KICC in
downtown Nairobi, Kenya on Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th, was
a great place to be. Hot Sun Foundation had a stand where we met hundreds of
people and had conversations about our film training programs, Film Fupi Fest
(a collective of upcoming filmmakers) and our Red Epic workshop in June.
There were many outstanding exhibitors of the
broadcast and film industry at the exhibition. We had a very fruitful discussion with Thomas
Binsert, Sales Director Africa & Middle East, who donated an ARRI Lighting
Kit to Hot Sun Film School last year. We had interesting talks with Delmar
Estabillo of United Broadcast & Media Solutions, some representatives from
Sony, and Sriram Bhartatam, Founder and Chief Mentor of Kuza Biashara. We had
the chance to meet people during the workshops that were organized according to
the exhibition’s theme “AfRIWOOD Rising”.
BFMA is a great place to connect with other
filmmakers and practitioners in the broadcast and film sector. During these two
days we had the opportunity to present Hot Sun Foundation to a wide variety of
people. Our stand was very popular and people responded well. We answered queries about our training
center, our content, the Film Fupi Fest and our workshops. As the curtain fell on AITEC 2014, we could
say, “we were glad we came”.
