The agreement was signed by Mr. Bradford Parks, the Chairman and Executive Director for Hollywood Film Festival, and Mr. Meddie Kagwa, the Head of Multimedia and Content on behalf of the UCC Executive Director Godfrey Mutabazi.

The agreement will provide opportunities for Ugandan film and content to showcase on the most prominent International stage, opportunities for Ugandan participation in Hollywood productions

The agreement comes at an opportune time when the Ugandan Film Industry is growing in leaps and bounds.

The UCC started the Ugandan Film Festival (UFF) in 2013, with less than 183 competing entries, a number that has since multiplied over the years to over 1,250 competing entries.

Ugandan movies have also made entry, received nominations and won several awards at other film festivals, most notably the AMVCA, Pan African Film Festival, Kalasha Tv & Film Market, Zanzibar International Film Festival, among others.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Parks said he was excited at the uniqueness and emergence of great Ugandan talent as was exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival.

Uganda was represented at the festival by UCV, Uganda Tourism Board (UTB), Media Council and independent filmmakers.

According to the Uganda Tourism Board CEO, Lilly Ajarova, this agreement provides an opportunity to market and promote Uganda as a premier film destination.

“We are delighted about this agreement, and we pledge continuous support to the Uganda Communication Commission in promoting the film industry,” she said
