It is all systems go for the Kenya Film Commission-run affair, often referred to as the Kenyan Oscars.

Kalasha Awards is one of the commission’s key projects, where winners of various categories in the TV and Film industry are celebrated, creating a vibrant film industry.

KFC is appealing to filmmakers to submit content. Through the KFC official website, they said:

Andrew Odera’s ‘Lost in Time’ won the Best Feature, while ‘Whistleblower’ scooped the Best Short Film.
