Proud to be back for the Second Edition of Mashariki African Film Festival as Marraine of the Festival. The setting looks like a dream (Grand Pension Plaza in Kigali). We had a record number of people attending the Opening Ceremony and screened TIMBUKTU by Abderrahmane Sissako under the stars (an Academy Award Nominee, a Cannes Film Festival Selection, and a winner of 7 Césars). Need I say more? – Kantarama

As I sit in the empty room of the Serena Hotel, writing my speech for my first festival as a Marraine I can feel the pressure build. In a few hours all the seats will be taken. More than 900 people, friends and family. I am so proud to be here, honored that TAPIS ROUGE is the opening film. An amazing encounter brought me here… but there’s no coincidence in life, right? My head spins. But for now, let’s finish this paper, barefeet if it helps. Life is a journey. Thank you for being part of it. – Kantarama Tapis Rouge @ IMDb
