About us
The Bagamoyo film collective is a constantly growing platform for young theatre-, art- and filmmakers that are aiming to initiate and professionalise their own projects. We believe in collaborative creative work and a supporting growing international network. Everybody who would like to share his or her work and would like to collaborate or cooperate is welcome to join.
Background
In 2015 visual anthropologist Judith Albrecht and her colleagues Diana Wintrich and Irina Yilmaz together with a group of film professionals (Thomas Rotsching (camera operator), Harald Geil (actor and photographer), Aline Bonvin (editor), Sven Brackelman (sound), Christoph Marx (visual anthropologist and photographer) initiated a 10-day collaborative film workshop in cooperation with the TaSUBa (Bagamoyo College of Arts and Culture) in Tanzania. Out of this communal film project grew a three-year exchange program for students, artists and theater performers from Bagamoyo and Berlin that has been funded and supported by the Goethe-Institute Tanzania, Dar es Salaam. The produced film works are being shown at international film festivals, such as ZIFF Zanzibar International Film Festival (Tanzania), Amarcort film festival (Rimini, Italy), Bunter Hund international film festival (Munich, Germany), CSIFF Chhatrapati Shivaji international film festival (Pune, India) and AFRIFF The Africa International Film Festival (Lagos, Nigeria). Out of this collaboration evolved the Bagamoyo film collective, where participants of the former workshops come together to collaborate on future projects. The collective turned into a constantly growing platform for young theatre-, art- and filmmakers that are aiming to initiate and professionalise their own projects after their graduation.

Usuli
Mwaka 2015 onyesho la anthropologist Judith Albrecht na wenzie Diana Wintrich na Irina Yilmaz pamoja na kundi la watalamu wa filamu ( Thomas Rotsching (kamera operator), Harald Geil (mchezaji na mpiga picha), Aline Bonvin (Editor), Sven Brackelman (sauti), Chris (visual anthropologist na mpiga picha) wametengeneza filamu hiyo ya shilika semina kwa siku kumi pamoja na ushilikiano wa TaSUBa (Bagamoyo College of Arts and Culture) Tanzania.
Katika mradi huu wa filamu ya jumuiya ilikuwa ni wa kubadikishiana kwa miaka mitatu mpango wa wanafunzi, wasanii kwa wasanii kutoka Bagamoyo na Berlin. Huu ndo ulikua msaada umetolewa na Goethe-Institute Tanzania, Dar Es Salaam.
Filamu ambazo zimeshatengenezwa zimewahi kuonyeshwa kwenye tamasha la siku kuu ya filamu kimataifa, kama: ZIFF Zanzibar International Film Festival, Amarcort film festival (Rimini), Bunter Hund international film festival (Munich) na CSIFF Chhatrapati Shivaji international film festival (Pune, India).
Ushilikano huu ndo umesababisha kuzalishwa kwa Bagamoyo Film Collective.
Mradi huu umekuwa chanzo kwa washiliki wa semina hiyo kwa pamoja na ushilikiano wa baadaye. Collective imekua daima kwa vijana wasanii ambao wanalenga kuanzisha miradi yao baada ya kuitimu.
