About KCF

A Festival Rooted in Place

Kilifi Creek Festival (KCF) is an artist-led, community-rooted film, arts and cultural festival set along the stunning Kilifi Creek on Kenya's coast. In proud collaboration with The Terrace Consortium, KCF brings together established filmmakers, visionary artists, and local communities for a multi-day journey of film screenings, art exhibitions, fashion showcases, masterclasses, and public talks.

Set in carefully curated venues along the creek -- from intimate waterfront spaces to vibrant public gathering points -- KCF champions the idea that artistic excellence can emerge from mangroves, ocean rhythms, and local stories as much as from urban capitals. The festival is committed to celebrating and strengthening the link between coastal heritage and local communities.
