Film Festival
Nov 17th - 21st 2015
2011, being the 5 festival conducted in 2015. This year's event brings to you stories from Lesotho and
across our beautiful continent, under the theme #TellingAfricanStories.
The Lesotho Film Festival (2015) will take place from the 17th November - 21st November 2015. SM&D intends
to make the film festival to become a national platform to view and review development dialogues through
the camera lenses of primarily Basotho film producers, but also international producers. SM&D believes
that the film festival is a breeding ground for development ideas and a good networking space for
government, corporate and community stakeholders.

In Tanzania, witch doctors still propagate the belief that the body parts of
albino people will bring wealth and good fortune. Against the background
of a series of brutal murders of albinos, two albino men fight for their rights:
Josephat has spent most of his life campaigning against anti-albino
discrimination and confronting communities with their murderous deeds,
and fifteen-year-old Vedastus is smart and creative, but his poor eyesight
is an obstacle to academic progress. Now he is desperately hoping for a
new chance at a special school.
