Support emerging filmmakers and FilmAid by making a donation to FAFF 2020.


The Student Film category features short dramas and documentaries produced by students in FilmAid's year-long, Media Entrepreneurship Training courses in Kakuma and Dadaab Refugee Camps. The short films were produced by diverse teams of young refugees from South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo, Sudan, Uganda and northwest Kenya. Many of the young filmmakers have spent most of their lives in the refugee camps. The Festival is thrilled to be able to provide these talented youth with a platform to have their voices heard. 


Protein bars, protein shakes, protein pills and a hundred other protein products have taken over social media time lines and check-out aisles around the world. But in Kakuma Refugee Camp, a different protein-packed product has customers chirping about its benefits. Beth Wanyama is a Kenyan who has lived alongside refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp since 2008. She’s a pastry chef, a craft that demands precision, patience and sometimes the courage to try something new. Watch as she makes a name for herself and a healthy profit for her business by adding locally farmed cricket powder to her tasty confections.
