Zimbabwean Filmmaker, Rumbi Katedza has launched a new website that archives information on the Zimbabwean film industry. The Zimbo Jam caught up with her and found out more about this new project.
Tell us about the idea behind the website?
ZimbabweFilm.com is a labour of love that I am so proud of. Having worked in film for well over a decade now, I have had the opportunity to travel to many festivals and film markets, and everywhere I go, people are pleasantly surprised to hear that there actually are films being made in Zimbabwe.
