A Jitu Films production was screened at the European Film Festival in Thessaloniki, Greece on Wednesday 18. Chasing Moses is the only African movie being screened at the 50th edition of the festival on the Digital Wave section that supports young and upcoming filmmakers who make use of the digital technology. The movie was shot on location in Kibera slum and Olorigesaille.
The film’s director Alexandros Konstantaras says he will bring in a few Kenyan and Congolese students from the Thessaloniki University where his father teaches chemistry to experience a Kenyan movie. So far Kenyan actress Lizz Njagah has also participated in the screening of the movies at the festival that started last Friday.
