Last year at the Bantu Film Festival, Botswanaโ€™s very own Baratani: The Hill of Lovers took home Best Local Sound! ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ”Š

A beautiful reminder that Botswana filmmakers are creating stories with the talent, creativity and quality to stand alongside African cinema from across the continent.

Hereโ€™s to a Botswana film industry that keeps growing, creating and telling our stories, our way. We canโ€™t wait for this yearโ€™s edition. ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ผ๐ŸŽฅ
