About The Animation Films:
THE LEGEND OF LWANDA MAGERE originates from the Luo peoples who live on the shores of Lake Victoria. An invincible and loyal protector to his people, Lwanda was also a target of his enemies. This is a story of his rise and fall.

TISHALA presents the realities of millions of girls all over the world whose communities practice FGM, the fears and uncertainties they have about growing up and why they must endure a useless cut.

Uganda’s Naseeba Bagalaaliwo’s debut short SCALP DEEP considers our society's attachment to hair. In it, A young woman navigates the reactions and expectations of her new look.

Caroline Kamya’s DEATH BY A THOUSAND LIKES is timely in our increasingly hyperconnected world. The film explores the lives we live, increasingly dependent on the internet of things and social media.
