ONCE UPON A TIME IN UGANDA

US PREMIERE Two men from opposite sides of the world come together over a shared love of action cinema. Isaac Nabwana, a director hailed as “Africa’s Tarantino,” and Alan Hofmanis, a film programmer from New York, struck a deep friendship while making films with minimal resources in the slums of Kampala. Alan sees the genius in Isaac and is compelled to bring the world’s attention to Wakaliwood, but their “bromance” is threatened as Isaac’s star rises. – Ruth Somalo

The November 12th screening ONLY will be followed by a Q&A with Director Cathryne Czubek, co-director Hugo Perez, Producer Gigi Dement, co-writer Amanda Hughes, and DP Matt Porwoll. 

This screening is co-presented by Cinema Tropical.
