The second FIFF was held from 30 September to 4 October 2008 in Lindley. During the festival 33 aspirant filmmakers were trained in the basic skills of conceptualization, scriptwriting, filming and editing and completed a 3 minute shortfilm. We further held screenings in Lindley and Ntha which were attended by 578 viewers. On Saturday we launched the third movie of a local filmmaker, Molefi Sithole, called Bad Luck (Bomadimabe habo tlollwe mafura).
