All filmmakers and audio-visual artists, or other artists, who are resident in Uganda are free to join. There will be a two month probation period after an application before membership is granted, and successful members are expected to be team players and committed to creating a healthy environment of cooperation and respect for one another. The film collective is classified into 3 membership categories.
Level 1: Associate Member
Members at this level have access to trainings and workshops, screenings and professional networking events. They will have access to producers and other professionals to kickstart their own careers.
Requirements: Members are expected to demonstrate enthusiasm in filmmaking, and may be hobbyists, film buffs, or entry level filmmakers and students of film. Practitioners of other arts, for example poets, visual artists, sculptors, stage directors, or writers of novels, short stories, plays, radio dramas, and creative non-fiction like blogs and newspaper features, or any artist in any field who wishes to transition into film, are all welcome to start here. The annual registration fee is UGX 50,000/=
