USIU-Africa and Kenya Film Commission (KFC) have signed a five-year agreement to boost film studies. The Memorandum of Understanding is aimed at making Kenya a first-class provider of screen entertainment for local, regional and international markets. To this end the university commits to provide quality and relevant training.

In the agreement, the two institutions will work together to build capacity through organising film classes, workshops, seminars, film boot camps, short courses, projects and programmes. The two institutions will also market the Kalasha International Film and TV Festivals to increase market penetration and visibility for Kenyan content at international film markets.
