A training platform for moviemakers, event programmers/presenters, public speakers/discussion moderators, journalists/critics, promoters/marketers and resource-mobilisers— LKSff is often one of the first, if not the only one, places where new films can be seen and young talent spotted.
LKSff is not only the most useful but also the most consistent and longest running movie platform on the Nairobi arts and entertainment calendar over the past 11 years!
