RWANDA CINEMA CENTERMission StatementThe Rwanda Cinema Center was created to facilitate film and video production; to deliver informative, entertaining, and educational content; and to explore a wide spectrum of issues and raise awareness on local and global development agendas, community outreaches, and socio-cultural, political and economic development. Film is one of the most popular forms of entertainment, but it also represents an industry that is growing- thus creating trades, foreign investments and job opportunities. Rwanda is now a growing nation and their cultural diversity and creative energy is finding the space to flourish. In addition, Rwanda Cinema Center is putting up Rwanda's first independent movie theater. This will be the scene of workforce training and include a sound stage that can be used by public and private entities. The main hall will be built to the same standards used for Los Angeles and Hollywood facilities. There, filming of major motion pictures, television documentaries, commercials and independent films will take place. It is hoped the complex will meet every aspect of a production company's needs. This investment will mean more jobs and opportunities for the Rwandan people, and will facilitate the growth of Rwandan cinema. History of Rwanda Cinema CenterUnder the umbrella of Rwanda Cinema Center, several films have been made in Rwanda, by Rwandans. "100 Days" is the first feature film about the Rwandan Genocide and "Keepers of Memory" is a tribute to the survivors at the 10th Year Anniversary of the Genocide in 2004. Both films premiered at the prestigious Toronto Film Festival and went on to screen at major world film festivals, thus exposing Rwandan history and past but also showing their resilience and will to move forward. The film industry is blossoming in Rwanda and RCC has been at the forefront of empowering the youth of Rwanda. Through filmmaking, youth are given a voice and medium to express themselves. In the past few years, it has produced the film "100 Days", the traditional "Films on Youth by Youth Training Programs" in collaboration with the Swedish Institute, and with the support from the Gothenburg Film Festival Film Fund. The focus on Rwanda at the 6th Tribeca Film Festival helped to identify the nation as a cultural partner. The Rwanda Cinema Center has several local and international partners such as: Ministries of Sport and Culture, Local Government, Rwanda Investment and Export Agency, Rwanda Tourism Agency Kigali, Vivid Features in Nairobi, Tribeca Film Festival, ArtVenture, Prins Claus Funds, Open Air Cinema, MTN Rwanda, and Kigali German Embassy, to name but a few.
