“Nairobi Film Centre is your place of choice for events, especially during this pandemic, where social distancing is mandatory in combating the spread of the (Covid-19) disease.
“As part of our efforts to support the creative industry, we have subsidised our rates to cushion the industry that has taken a beating from the pandemic,” said Dr Mutua.
The biggest cinema auditorium is available for bookings via the KFCB website.
