Lead image for Nyeri gets ultra-modern cinema theatre.
The Kenya Film Commission, in partnership with Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT), has unveiled an ultra-modern cinema theatre in Nyeri.
The Film Hub and Ultra-Modern Cinema Theatre are designed to give multifaceted value to the creatives dubbed "the KFC CineHub."
The facility is envisioned as a complete creative ecosystem which will bring together film exhibitions, audience development, capacity building, research and innovation, talent incubation and creative entrepreneurship under one roof.
Speaking during the launch on Friday, the State Department for Youth Affairs and the Creative Economy Principal Secretary Fikirini Katoi Jacobs described the facility as a practical demonstration of the Government's commitment to the creative sector.
"Today's launch is tangible evidence of the government's commitment to implementing its agenda for the creative economy and marks another milestone in our efforts to decentralise opportunities, strengthen creative infrastructure and empower young Kenyans through the arts and culture," he said.
