Established in 2005, the Kampala based film studio has developed a model that offers a counter-current to the dominant production paradigm, working with ultra-low budgets and community groups to produce action movies that present a refraction of the violent films coming out of Hollywood. At the Ren— the collective’s first wide-ranging exhibition in the US—they will present a new work, If Uganda Was America, alongside other recent films within a collaborative, customized installation.
