Cinema extravaganza
As a pillar of the Namibian Theatre and Film Awards, a local film screening week is a practice adopted to ensure that the Namibian people celebrate with filmmakers and industry professionals the beauty of the cinematic art.
The Namibian Theatre and Film Awards (NTFA) will be hosting a week-long event of films in different venues in Windhoek, offering a rare experience for the community in a glorious outdoor setting. This year, the Seven Days of Namibian movies will be screening all films and music videos that are in the competition which will take place on 25 March. The awards were founded in 2010 to celebrate, recognise and honour theatre and film practitioners.
As winter draws close, the organisers thought of how Namibians could enjoy the last warm summer days by watching a selection of proudly Namibian-made films and music videos. All venues are dual settings, indoor and outdoor; having the ability to be flexible enough to screen the films even when it rains.
The Seven Days of Namibian Movies will kick off on 11 March and end on 17 March. “ Some of the films to be watched include Katutura, The Power of Rain, The Unseen, The Foot-and-Mouth Disease Outbreak of 2015 and Black Beginnings just to mention a few. Every screening begins at 19:30 promptly, in order to give the audience a great viewing experience,” said Nicola Muranda from the Namibia Film Commission.
The entrance fees for all screenings are N$30 (adults) and N$10 for students with valid student identity documents or enrolment, and pensioners. That being said, all films are rated PG-13, therefore underage children are advised to be accompanied by adults.
