I’m not terribly familiar with the festival, but I know that Soul Boy, a film that has been previously mentioned on this blog, is screening tomorrow, Saturday, the 12th. It’ll be the film’s London premiere. It screens at 2Pm,at the Ica (Institute of Contemporary Arts), and will be followed by a Q&A session with director, Hawa Essuman.

The story goes…
In September 2008, the German production company One Fine Day Films teamed up with Kenyan producing partners Ginger Ink to develop a film workshop in Nairobi for aspiring local movie makers. The concept of the project was to take a minimal budget, a small professional crew and a large group of young trainees to create a feature film inside Kibera, Nairobi’s biggest slum.
The main aim was to integrate upcoming talents of all filmmaking categories from Nairobi in the practical work on an artistically ambitious film project, providing them with professional knowledge, career perspectives and the inspiration to continue. This film is the first.
Co-written by Kenyan Billy Kahora with Ghanaian-Kenyan filmmaker Hawa Essuman directing, the film is titled Soul Boy.
Synopsis: 14 year-old Abila lives with his parents in Kibera, one of the largest slums in East Africa. One morning the teenager discovers his father ill and delirious.
