Slum Film Festival

01/05/2026

📍 Saturday, 2 May | 12 PM
📌 Contemporary Image Centre (CIC), Westlands

This Saturday, we gather to witness something powerful.

Through Our Eyes — a youth-made documentary by Slum Film Festival — will be screened alongside a photo exhibition featuring work by young photographers from Kibera, developed through the Spark Peace Project in collaboration with The Coffee Ministry CFK Africa What's Good Media

Through their own lenses and their own words, these young storytellers share real reflections on peace, identity, belonging, and everyday life in their communities.

This is more than a screening or exhibition — it’s a moment to listen, to see, and to connect.

Open to all | Free entry

Something shifted last week.

We walked into Rebirth of a Queen thinking we were coming to run a training.

We left having witnessed growth.

In just 3 days, participants moved from:
📸 learning how to set up a camera
→ to
💡 understanding how to price their work
→ to
🎬 creating and presenting real ideas

But beyond the skills, something deeper happened.

Confidence grew.
Voices opened up.
Possibilities expanded.

One participant said:
“I wasn’t a fan of cameras… but now I want to learn more.”

And that’s what this is about.

Creating space.
Opening doors.
And reminding young people that their stories — and their work — matter.

This is just the beginning.

Day 3 — bringing it all together

Participants stepped into the role of content creators responding to a real client brief.

From concept to story to budget — they built everything.

One group priced at Ksh 93,800.
Another at Ksh 441,500.

Different numbers. Same growth.

What mattered most wasn’t the figures —
it was the thinking behind them.

By this point, they weren’t just learning tools…
they were thinking like creatives.

Day 2 got real.

We moved from learning tools… to understanding value.

Participants were asked to price real jobs:
📍 Weddings
📍 Church services
📍 Event coverage

The responses? Everything from Ksh 1,000 to Ksh 500,000 😄

But that’s where the learning happened.

Through discussion, group work, and role play, they began to understand:
💡 how to break down costs
💡 how to think like professionals
💡 how to see from a client’s perspective

From guessing → to thinking.

That shift is everything.

Day 1 at Rebirth of a Queen

We kicked off our Creative Industry Training with something simple but powerful: understanding the tools.

For many of the participants, this was their first time:
📸 setting up a camera
🎥 mounting it on a tripod
🎤 working with audio equipment

What stood out most wasn’t just learning the equipment…
it was the curiosity, the excitement, and the willingness to try.

Sometimes all it takes is access.

And from there, everything begins.

We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Slum Film Festival and Rebirth of a Queen.

This collaboration is rooted in something we deeply believe in; creating space for young people to express themselves, tell their stories, and grow both creatively and professionally.

We’ll be kicking things off with:
• Creative Industry Training for youth in Kiserian
• Identity Storytelling Workshops with the girls at the Rebirth of a Queen centre

We’re looking forward to building something meaningful together.

This collaboration is rooted in something we deeply believe in: creating space for young people to express themselves, tell their stories, and grow both creatively and professionally.
