The Uganda Film Festival Activities: The film festival will feature the following activities:

<strong>Exhibiting of Film, movies, TV series, Dramas etc:</strong>
The suggestion is to negotiate with all cinema halls, TV stations to set aside an hour a day to air films made in Uganda either free of charge or at a heavily subsidized rate. The idea is to have heavy visibility of Ugandan films/Movies during this period. The TV stations may also be persuaded to come up with news features or short documentary films about the Uganda film industry.
