Venues

The Kigali Cine Junction Film Festival is hosted at several iconic venues across Kigali. Each location offers a unique atmosphere and top-notch facilities, creating the perfect setting for our screenings, workshops, and events.

📍Imbuga City Walk

📍Imbuga City Walk

The Imbuga City Walk is a car-free zone in Kigali’s central business district that was transformed into ‘a recreational and green space’, whose implementation was completed in December 2021. The project is characterised by pedestrian and cycling-friendly pavements, green corridor landscaping, kiosks for food and other items, an exhibition space, and a playground.

Cine Mayaka by IMITANA, previously known as Cine Elmay (Kwa Mayaka), built in 1977, is the first and oldest standing cinema theater in Rwanda. After more than a decade of falling apart, Imitana Productions, the organizers of Kigali Cine Junction have taken it over and started reviving it. This year Kigali Cine Junction marks 47 years of this iconic monument of cinema.
