ZIFF embrace African films

ORGANISERS of the Zimbabwe International Film Festival have said this year’s edition of the fiesta — to be held in collaboration with the International Image Film Festival (IIFF) — will put the spotlight on African films and filmmakers.

Running under the themes The Business of Film (ZIFF) and of Women, By Women, for the People (IIFF), the film fete will run from August 26 to September 2 in Kensington and Mufakose.

ZIFF executive director, Nigel Munyati, last week said Zimbabwe’s film industry was enjoying growth, hence their decision to focus on local films.
