Kenya's film scene just turned heads at the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival! 🎬
At the event, Evans Ongor Mac'Osewe, commissioner of the Kenya Film Commission, sat down with CGTN's Zhang Meng to share a bold vision.
"At the end of the day, quality is what dictates how far your movie can go," Mac'Osewe declared. "If we produce good quality, we will not be surprised to see our movies in the Oscars." ✨
He also thanked the festival organizers: "I must thank the organizing committee for extending that rare opportunity to Kenya. The experience has been amazing." 🙏
For Mac'Osewe, Kenya has a secret weapon: its diverse landscapes—from coastal paradises to urban jungles—paired with stories that resonate with nearly 200 million Swahili-speaking viewers. 🌍
But it’s not just about scenery. Mac'Osewe emphasized that international collaboration and top production values are key ingredients for global exposure. "We’re ready to team up with filmmakers around the world," he added.
Whether it's a gripping drama set in Nairobi or a wildlife epic in the Maasai Mara, Kenya is aiming high. Could the next Kenyan blockbuster be standing on the Oscars stage? ¡Vamos, Kenya! 🚀
