While other festivals resolve to cancelling their schedules because of the corona virus pandemic, we are prompted to revisit the founding principles of our festival "...to be TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN, and "REMOTELY ACCESSIBLE". Let's meet online starting on World Health Day, April 7th through April 13th, 2020 at the #RTF2020 ONLINE Remote Access Edition. Another innovation by RTF.
From inception, our vision was “to build a truly International, all - inclusive and remotely accessible Film Festival”.
Our corporate VISION reads: “to become the most acclaimed technology – driven, remotely accessible Festival in Africa with a keen interest in Cultural & Creative Arts". Our MISSION is to champion an Artistic baseline where equity and openness is enhanced among Creative Artists, Filmmakers & Film Enthusiasts; in other words, a platform "Where everyone feels equal" |
Ope Adewale joined the festival team last year as a volunteer, and was in charge of registrations at the front desk. This year, she takes up a new position as the Head of Programs. She will also lead the team that will execute the one-day panoptic edition on December 3rd, 2020.
This year marks our fifth outing as a Festival, and we have decided to emphasize on "accessibility", continuing with our mantra of being Ice-Warm, with "ICE" connoting "INCLUSIVENESS, COLLABORATION & EQUITY". Our 2020 Festival Theme is "ACE".
In the light of this, RTF is going full PANOPTIC to celebrate our fifth anniversary, and this will necessitate a long-lasting focus on people with disability - the blind, deaf, crippled, people living with autism, down syndrome, and other disabilities.
As we go Full Panoptic, we are determined to play our role in fulfilling the 2030 Agenda of the UNDP:
"Leave no person with disabilities behind".

On May 27th 2019 (Children's day), the Realtime International Film Festival (RTF) in partnership with SPAR, hosted a Kids Experience session in a family - oriented
celebration that was free to participate in. While SPAR provided the platform and the venues, RTF came on board to take the annual event to another level by screening child-friendly films, and also organising a well attended and keenly contested audition for kids between the ages of five and seventeen.
