Submissions open for feature-length Swahili films
The channel seeks to respond to strong consumer demand for Africa-produced and Africa-themed programming and prides itself on the quality of its output.
Submissions should be bold, ambitious, original and should bring a fresh outlook to East African television content. The concept should have a broad viewer appeal and possess the ability to travel across the continent. The cast must be fluent in Swahili and may include characters from across Africa.
