Shifting our customary dates from May, the 2009 Amakula Kampala International Film Festival (6 - 14 November) with the challenging theme of "Visionary Histories": the theme stresses the importance of looking back into history in order to understand and create a meaningful future. We shall see how history is made, changed and reconsidered and the different meanings it can deliver in reconstructing contemporary African society.

Films short-listed from all submitted works will be shown at the Festival. During the festival an international jury will award the best Eastern African short with the Golden Impala Award
Amakula Kampala continues with its programs for year round activities and training at the Amakula headquarters in Mengo.
