The Uganda Communication Commission (the Commission) annually organizes the Uganda Film Festival (UFF), an initiative geared towards promoting the film Industry. This is done through a series of activities including development workshops and forums focusing on technical skilling, distribution and commercialization of local content, which culminate into the Uganda Film Festival Gala night.
