Call For Incubatees – Filmmakers

CDEA’s Creative Economy Incubator in collaboration with GIZ and the EAC makes a call for its Audio-visual Incubation Programme focusing on filmmakers in Uganda and Tanzania, to take place in Dar es Salaam within a period of one year.

CDEA’s Creative Economy Incubator that is being supported by the Incubator for Integration and Development in East Africa (IIDEA) will select 3 prominent filmmakers from Uganda to showcase their work in Tanzania and hold a masterclass for emerging filmmakers.
