Another Kenyan Film Joins Nairobi Half Life at International Film Festival

Something Necessary, the follow-up to last year’s Nairobi Half Life, will premiere in Kenya on the 25th of January. But there’s a chance it will have had it’s world premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

The festival runs between 23rd January and 3rd February so Kenya might still get that first viewing. Particular dates have not been announced because films are still being selected. Full line-up is expected a week before the festival begins, on January 17th.

Besides Nairobi Half Life, Something Necessary is the only African film announced so far and it will share world premieres with films from all over the world. The movie chronicles two individuals’ personal journey following the events of the civil unrest after Kenya’s 2007 election.
