Kenyan Film is making big strides, but many of its protagonists are not well known, not even in Kenya. It’s time to pay homage to their works. Goethe Institut in their Homage series, which introduced Jacob Barua, Judy Kibinge, Willie Owusu, and Jane Murago-Munene to a keenly interested audience, continues with Cajetan Boy.
Cajetan Boy is a playwright, screenwriter, lecturer in screenwriting, mentor, performing artist, and the Products Development Leader for Et Cetera Productions Limited, an independent film and TV production house. His first full-length play was Benta (2000) which was published and later produced as a feature film in 2006. Many of his stage plays have also been produced as feature films.
Cajetan is an alumnus of the Maisha Film Lab. Other than film and stage, he has written extensively for Comic Books, Radio, and TV, i.e. several episodes of dramas, soaps and sit-coms. As usual in this series, a representative selection of his corpus of work will be screened, and accompanied by a discussion with the filmmaker.
