ADMA’s lenses, cameras, and crane were all on the rooftop of KCC, shooting footage for the official music video “We Are Family” for the conference.

On the last day of the conference, after the closing ceremony, we took our gear onto the roof of the Kigali Convention Centre for filming the conference’s official "We Are Family" song’s music video.

Musical artists Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Knowless Butera, William Otuck, Avril, and Naveeni starred while the beautiful views from KCC’s rooftop were showcased in the background. What an amazing end to this successful event!

Finally, A HUGE "WAKOZI NEZA" to ADMA's Munezero Emma Harris for editing this amazing recap video that was shown at the very start of the closing ceremony in the KCC auditorium, throughout the entire venue in overflow rooms, and livestreamed around the world!

ADMA Video Production Over Weekend

This past weekend, ADMA students worked on two projects for clients.

The first was a promo video using our greenscreen for Kigali Kids Championship (KKC), a nonprofit organization created to provide activities and opportunities for young people in Rwanda. The students set up all the lights and the ADMA cameras to capture the footage for the video. The final edit will used to call out young talents to take part and to advocate for the importance of kid’s recreational and educational programs.

The second was video coverage by ADMA students of the Reading for Change 8th Edition and the launch of a new program called “Inspired to Inspire” at the Kigali Public Library.

ADMA Students Film At Special School in Rwamagana District

ADMA students recently visited a special school in Rwamagana District, called Groupe Scolaire Gishari...

The ADMA students captured footage for an upcoming video on how the school's innovative solutions support children with different abilities (i.e. hearing impairment).

Specifically, the footage focused on how the school assesses each student, then comes up with an effective strategy for creating a suitable learning environment, and also how the teachers support and interact inside the classroom on a daily basis.

To show how Rwanda is empowering girls, ADMA's female students covered a special session in Rwanda's parliament with both video and photography production.

A bit more about the ADMA students you are seeing in these photos...

This January the Africa Digital Media Academy conducted its first “All Girls Intake,” in an effort to build capacity and encourage gender equality in the media and entertainment industries.

After an intensive three-week evaluation period, twenty girls were selected out of an original intake of 40 to undergo a fourteen-month training program acquiring skills in a range of fundamental courses including of Photography, Video Production and Storytelling for Multimedia.

This initiative is a partnership between the Imbuto Foundation and the Africa Digital Media Academy with the aim of giving more women digital literacy skills, access to equal opportunity in the media industry and the ability to tell their own stories.
