Kipaji Lab Kenya.

Kipaji Lab Kenya was our flagship training hub, based in Nairobi. We offered structured film production courses, professional equipment access, and up to $10,000 in production funding for selected filmmakers.
Building Kenya's film industry from the ground up.
The Kenya program at a glance.
The Kenya cohort ran across 8 intensive weeks structured training, real production experience, and direct access to mentors working in African and international film.
Hands-on. Professional. Transformative.
Every module was built around active production. Participants left with completed short films, new industry relationships, and the technical confidence to work professionally.
A community of Nairobi image-makers.
Kipaji Lab Kenya connected filmmakers across the city and beyond. Our alumni network, online community, and annual showcase keep the creative conversations going long after the cohort ends.
What the Kenya program included.
From first-time filmmakers to developing professionals, the Kenya programme was structured to accelerate film crafts and industry connections in one of Africa’s most active creative cities.
