Contestants: Kenya's top filmmakers
Judges: Kenya's top rock fans
Prize: Absolutely nothing! (Well, except maybe gaining the respect of the very-hard-to-please Kenyan rock fans)
Still interested?:-) If so, read on...
The only requirement is that the short film/documentary/music video MUST have a rock 'n' roll theme. Otherwise, anything goes. ANYTHING!
Tentative deadline: August 30th but this is negotiable. However, the first film to be submitted will automatically win the festival director's award :-)
You can use ROFFEKE's motto as a theme guideline: "Friendship, fun, freedom"
