Rwanda Film Institute, The Vision.

RCC was founded by Eric Kabera. Rwanda Cinema Centre from time of inception has founded two important operations directed to improving film and new media in Rwanda. This is the Rwanda international film festival ”Hillywood” that has initiated the For youth by youth program, Film for change outreach project and now gradually developing the Rwanda Film Institute, an institution that is poised to be  training  more than two hundred students per year as we prepare them to embark on  choosing a department for a diploma level which will start in 2010 within the complex under construction of the Rwanda Education and Entertainment Centre that would host the Institute and its multiplex 2 screens cinema. Yearly through the youth for youth program and workshops that we deliver, we had produced over 100  students  who are now practitioners in the film business into the market today . These developments strive at building the filmmaking and new media ground and also provide important outlets for students seeking to gain experience in filmmaking, the Reason for the Rwanda Film Institute. Since these humble beginnings, the Rwanda Cinema Centre has grown in size and stature over the last 10 years to become one of the upcoming and leading filmmaking centre in east and Central Africa and especially the Great lakes region. Currently, the Centre is the creative point for the youth, technical and administrative staff that currently benefit from the collaboration workshops and filmmaking initiatives. The Rwanda Film Institute  is staged to offer both certificates and Diplomas and in future affiliated degrees. Our vision for our program utilizes our institution mission statement as a foundation, while augmenting the overall strategic initiatives related to the planned institute Academic Plan. RFI  is poised for further growth and transition as we move forward over the next five years with a number of exciting initiatives and opportunities with our partners.
