Abstract:
This paper interrogates the fragmented national policy framework regulating the Kenyan film industry, which impacts the production, distribution and consumption of film products in Kenya. The paper used a policy document analysis parallel to interviews with correspondents from film makers and government entities in Kenya. It establishes that government policy, mechanisms for implementation and film practitioner realities function largely in isolation of each other. The paper thus suggests a collaborative and interactive interaction of all the film stakeholders in Kenya with mutual representation at all levels, from which a coherent film policy can be developed.
Keywords:
Film Industry, Stakeholders.
