Dennis Gayirah.

International Media Arts Film Fest And Awards (I.M.A.F.F.&A) Organizer and Film Director, Producer, and editor with vast experience in this field. He is now working with Cinematrix International. Dennis has extensive experience in the movie-making industry as a producer and editor who has worked on many international projects.

I have always been passionate about the power of storytelling through film and the arts. There is something indescribable about how a narrative can touch our heartstrings, move us to tears, inspire us to take action or leave us in awe.

My passion for this led me to create the International Media Arts Film Festival and Awards – an opportunity for independent filmmakers from around the world to showcase their work and be recognized for their craft. I wanted to create a platform where artists could have their voice heard, where stories that need to be told would find an audience, and where creators could connect with like-minded individuals who share the same passion.

Through my own experience as a filmmaker, I know firsthand how discouraging it can be when your work goes unrecognized. By creating this festival we aim to empower talented artists and provide them with a global platform where they can receive recognition for their incredible work which often been overlooked by mainstream media houses.

Dinah Cage.

My involvement in the I.M.A.F.F Festival Jury Department has been an incredible experience and one that I am very honored to have been a part of. As a juror, I had the honor to view over hundred works from filmmakers around the world, discuss them with my peers and finally decide which films will be awarded at this international film festival! This was no small task but it was so fascinating to be exposed to different cultures through art in this way.

She also dedicated a lot of his time to listening to our ideas and offering valuable input that helped shape each program into something unique and inspiring for our audience members. With her guidance, we were able to create some amazing programs that resonated with people from all walks of life attending the festival every year!
