Welcome to MATFA Arts Uganda!, the official site of the MASAKA THEATRE AND FILM ACADEMY (MATFA)

About this initiative: 

MATFA Arts Uganda is the official public and social brand name of the MASAKA THEATRE AND FILM ACADEMY (MATFA), a creative arts learning community-based organization (CBO) established purposely to discover, nurture and professionalize creative talent using theatre and film as practical tools for education, youth empowerment and community development. 

We work closely with schools, community creatives, partners and sponsors to ensure that raw talent is guided early, refined responsibly and grown into professional potential.

MATFA is not a traditional academic institution. We are a learning community that operates directly within spaces where talent already exists (schools and communities) making creative education easily accessible, relevant and impactful.

"Partner with MATFA=Nurture talent early=Professionalize the art"
