Recently the Rwanda Cinema Centre attended the famous Tribeca Film festival. Rwanda became the 3rd country to be chosen by this prestigious film festival as a cultural partner, after South Africa and the City of Rome.
A historical event this was: Attended by His Excellency President Paul Kagame and the 42nd President of the United States of America, President Bill Clinton along with many other dignitaries.
In this regard the Rwanda cinema centre was given the goodwill and support to present “The Three Voices” from Rwanda and the opportunity to showcase their films and enlighten the world on the New and future of Rwanda. The occasion brought together business leaders, dignitaries, diverse artists and Filmmakers from around the world to celebrate Rwandan Art.”
In this, we bring forward Rwanda Cinema Center with the its new vision of establishing the Rwanda Film Institute that would promote and show case Rwanda in pictures in particular and the hopes and aspirations of Africa as a whole.
