Maisha Film Lab
Maisha Film Lab is a Uganda-based non-profit training film initiative for emerging East African filmmakers[1][2][3] and mentor ship programme for aspiring filmmakers and youth in Eastern Africa. It encompasses film production, screenwriting, directing, producing, cinematography, editing, sound recording, and acting.[4]
Origins
Maisha was established in 2005 by film director Mira Nair.[5][6] The name Maisha is from a Swahili word that means "life". Maisha aims to seek, identify, nurture, and promote creative talent among children and youth through hands-on skills development programmes in areas such as journalism, film-making, arts appreciation, and organisation and presentation of cultural and creative events.[citation needed]
