Veteran filmmaker Judy Kibinge honoured with second lifetime achievement award
Veteran Kenyan filmmaker Judy Kibinge has added another prestigious accolade to her illustrious career after receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the fifth-anniversary edition of the Pridelands Wildlife Film Festival (PWFF) in Mombasa.
The award, presented during the festival currently underway in the coastal city, recognises Kibinge's immense contribution to African cinema and her pioneering efforts in nurturing independent filmmakers across East Africa through Docubox, Sub-Saharan Africa's first homegrown independent documentary film fund and creative hub.
The recognition marks Kibinge's second major lifetime achievement honour, further cementing her status as one of Africa's most influential creative and cultural leaders.
Speaking after receiving the award, Kibinge said the honour held special significance because of the festival's commitment to elevating indigenous storytellers.
