100% Somali
Filimada wants to encourage the development of progressive and forward thinking video media through Somali only aggregated funding.
Aggregate funding from Diaspora to “back home” isn’t fundamentally new, but there’s now a large Somali diaspora population that’s been educated in the “West” – meaning an opportunity to try it differently. Make it sustainable.
A challenge to apply what we’ve “learned”.
But we’re looking to be more than a project. We’re aiming to create something a bit more lasting ….
institution building.
While Filimada.org’s goal is to be a funding source of Somali films that shape our narrative, it’s ultimate ambition is to begin the process of foundation building.
To explore different ways to create.
