Visiting film experts

During December we´ll have a special series of posts written by visiting film experts at Bongodox. From their point of view they will highlight examples of what is going on at Bongodox.


There are now two film experts visiting at Bongodox. Beside having mr. Shime from Mbeya City, yesterday Bongodox welcomed mr. Jakob from Denmark.

The local host prepared a reception for Jakob which took place yesterday. It was a fine reception, not least due to the fact that project visitors from as far away as Denmark don´t just pop in every month. It was also creating positive vibes across the project participants and other members of the local civil society organization (Kumbe) owning the project.

Recordings for two documentary films have already been made, and the first period of editing has begun at Bongodox. As stated above, in the coming days at this blog we hope to post highlights and examples of what is actually happening when film experts and the participants of Bongodox are exchanging relevant knowledge about film production.
