The Zanzibar International Film Festival is the biggest cultural event of its kind in East Africa. Now in its 13th year, ZIFF is a Zanzibari institution that focusses on African film while also celebrating the rich variety of culture from the region and beyond. “Tamasha,” (Kiswahili for "festival") is a truly African cultural experience with locals, tourists and film buffs all converging to watch the shows and soak up the atmosphere.
The enchanting port of Stone Town is the Festival’s main venue in Zanzibar and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Films and concerts are held in an outdoor amphitheatre in the Old Fort which dates back to the 1600s. Films and exhibitions are also shown in other listed buildings around Stone Town such as former royal palace, The Africa House, and ceremonial palace, The House of Wonders.
The 2010 Festival theme is "Hopes In Harmony".
