“The Kenya National Drama and Film Festival provides a vital platform for showcasing and celebrating our creativity, social innovation, and the incredible potential of our children and youth. It is a testament to our nation’s dedication to promoting the transformative impact of the arts on the minds of our learners at all levels of our educational institutions.” Said representative from KNDFF.

The festival not only encourages artistic expression but also serves as a forum for discussions on important societal issues. It is a reflection of Kenya’s commitment to harnessing the power of the arts for positive change and development.
