The 3rd Day at Lola Kenya screen Registers Great Success
By Rushel Rang’ala
As days went by the third day of Lola Kenya festival slowly made its way.Unlike the previous days this day was definitely successful in terms of attendance and audience satisfaction.
Although the weather was cold and threaten to prevent the day’s activities from taking place.The turn out was high and what triggered this from happening can only be well explained by the audience themselves.On Monday and Tuesday the number of people who attended was twelve and twenty one respectively.On Wednesday it tripled Tuesday’s number which was impressive.
By nine o’clock the auditorium was set to go as the films were screened one by one.Laughter and giggles inhabited the auditorium making it obvious that every one was having a great time.
Young kids who got bored easily due to screen translation and the film taking a long time. saw it fit to play and jump in the room.Not only did they cause disturbance but also a lot of distraction.All in all they say kids will always be kids,and people ignored them and went on to enjoy the films.
During the time the films were being screened others saw it fit to release stress and kill boredom through sleep. Since the lights were off and the atmosphere conducive creating a suitable environment for people to engage in sleep.
In Kenya the freedom of expression is improvised in all corners of the country. Well after the end of each film applauds could be heard, and to add insult to the injury others shed tears. This can only be described in five words; MIXED REACTIONS OVERCOME THE AUDITORIUM.
Many people got to know about the Lola Kenya festival through the posters that had been displayed all over.Mrs. Anke Domenke is an old lady from Finland who is a great fan of Lola Kenya festival. She says that since it had been launched she has attended all festivals in Kenya. However she is sad that this year’s turn out has been really discouraging. She extends this rage to the organizers of the festival who she feels never let down proper arrangements on the festival. First and foremost the advertising was not well done laying a greater problem to this festival. As if this is not enough the posters were as well not widely spread. Hence people cannot acknowledge all about Lola Kenya festival.
Talking to some people outside Alliance Françoise they felt and thought than the films being screened are in French. Hence people don’t see the need to torture themselves.Jenippher Onkole an attendant loves films and thanks Lola Kenya for what they are doing. She believes that through film not only can we get entertainment but intellectual fulfillment. Education and talent can also be achieved through film.
Others came for funny reasons, one lady who has been teased by her work mates because she can’t afford lunch saw the auditorium the best place to seek salvage from. All in all she thanks Lola Kenya for making the festival free hence accommodating people from all walks of life.
As the curtains drew down indicating the end of the films of the day, everyone seemed impressed and delighted. Due to being overwhelmed they rushed to the reception desk to inquire about of the next days programmed.
Well the wondrous work of film is evident and we can only say one thing.Thankyou Lola Kenya for your unending support and love for film
