From underwhelming marketing efforts to low attendance at cinema screenings, the event continues to highlight issues many filmmakers are grappling with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s festival came during a particularly difficult period for the industry. MultiChoice significantly reduced its film commissioning rate, leading to a nearly 50% drop in both production volume and overall film quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, many of Uganda\u2019s top producers did not submit films\u2014not due to a boycott, but because financial constraints made independent production nearly impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, emerging filmmakers had an opportunity to shine. New names submitted their work in the absence of veteran directors like Nisha Kalema, Matthew Nabwiso, Matt Bish, Nana Kagga, Usama Mukwaya, and Richard Mulindwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the Best Feature Film nominees, only one had previously been nominated or won: Hassan Mageye. The rest were fresh faces entering the category for the first time. Notably, Rehema Nanfuka, who won Best Feature Film for <em>Nkinzi<\/em>, is better known for her directing role in <em>Veronica\u2019s Wish<\/em>. This marked her first attempt at producing\u2014and a successful one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the other nominees were first-timers, with several showcasing debut projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the challenges, the festival remained true to its essence\u2014celebrating storytelling and cinematic art through the big screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 12th edition of the Uganda Film Festival, organized by the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), wrapped up on Friday with its grand closing gala.
