The just concluded annual Zanzibar International Film Festival at the Old Fort Amphitheatre in Stone Town lived up to its billing and had more women-led entries and films, which made up for last year’s canceled event.

Both Tanzania and Kenya bagged a number of awards at the festival held from July 21-25.
