Content creators have been urged to utilise the Nairobi Cinema, firmly Nairobi Film Center to their advantage.
Kenya Films and Classification Board acting CEO Christopher Wambua said that creatives could use the space to showcase their work.
He spoke during the graduation ceremony of over 2800 young women who completed the KFCB digital employability programme on Friday.
He said the board was keen on creating a facilitative environment for creatives to monetise their content.
"At a small fee, creatives can now hire the facility located at the heart of CBD and use it to showcase their work, be it film screenings and stage performances," he said.
Wambua said the board is reviewing the applicable license fees across all market segments of the film sector to encourage more young people to venture into the creative economy.
"To encourage more Video on Demand and Over the Top commercial audio-visual platform operators to venture into the local market," he said.
"Thus open up new opportunities to monetize your content, the Board is working with the parent Ministry to introduce a self-regulatory framework."
He hopes the framework will promote the ease of doing business in the sector by ensuring that broadcasters and commercial online streaming service platforms self-classify content instead of submitting it to the regulator for assignment of age-appropriate ratings.
"The framework is in tandem with the Ministry’s strategic objective of ensuring creatives earn from the talent, dubbed ‘Talanta Hela’," he said.
He urged the graduands to create impactful content that promotes our nation and our culture, which will not expose our children prematurely to adult experiences.
