The first International Film Festival where Uushimba is going to screen is the Afrikikas Film Festival which is taking place in Namibia at the moment ending on Saturday, 17 September. Uushimba is set to screen tomorrow at 16:00. Tickets will only be sold at the venue and they are going for N$30.
Uushimba has also received the invitation to screen at the 18th Zimbabwe International Film Festival and Trust (ZIFFT), which is taking place in Harare from 1 to 8 October 2016. The programme of ZIFFT which will indicate the exact date and time for the screen of the film will be confirmed in few days to come.
According to the producer Gustav Nuuyoma it is an amazing feat for the film to be recognised on an international platform. “That just goes to show how much work everybody who was involved on the project has put in, so again big ups to the cast and crew for a job well done. The screening of Uushimba this Saturday is an opportunity for all those who couldn’t make it to the red-carpet première and have been asking where they can watch the film to finally watch the amazing Uushimba,” said Nuuyoma.
Director Khama Nakanduungileh after he was asked how he feels about the invitation to the two festivals said that he is thrilled and hopes they get to showcase Uushimba at more international platforms such as the Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) and a lot more. “I also hope Namibian companies and investors see what’s happening so that they can start investing in the film industry,” he said.
