We are so proud to announce that Private Life is an Official Selection of the Queer Kampala International Film Festival (QKIFF) 2018!\u00a0 The event will be held from December 7th to December 9th in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda.\u00a0 This will be Private Life’s premiere screening in Africa!<\/p>\n
We are especially thrilled to be a part of QKIFF.\u00a0 Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda, making the festival illegal and forcing it underground.\u00a0 Here is some history from the festival…<\/p>\n
The inaugural Queer Kampala International Film Festival was held in December of 2016 at different venues in the country\u2019s capital Kampala.\u00a0 Security measures included screening of attendees, keeping the venues secret and mobile daily.\u00a0 The attendants had to go to a different venue in the morning and afternoon.\u00a0 Venues were announced within hours of the event. Encouragingly, the LGBTIQ community, supporters and sympathizers hung in there and religiously followed us to the different venues attracting a turn out of more than 836 visitors within a space of 3 days.<\/p>\n
In December 2017, the first day of the second edition of the festival opened in Kampala and was a huge success, the festival sold out.\u00a0 On the second day, however, it was raided by the Uganda police.\u00a0 The Festival resumed two weeks later, but held in private spaces and with only trusted persons invited.<\/p>\n
