The Tanzanian movie industry is fast-growing and said to be the second-largest in Africa after Nigeria. Our productions are shown throughout Africa through satellite channels.

Our production model includes pairing and collaborating with Tanzanian Youth. Interns will work on a production team with individuals from all backgrounds and skill levels. Come ready to learn the innovative style of Tanzanian filmmaking and share what you know while working with great equipment!

This volunteer internship program aims to assist Tanzania's young, talented film industry artists and professionals develop their skills. We have already created and further helped Tanzanian film teams to produce music videos, short documentaries, and full movies. In Tanzania, we have no proper education for film production, and our model is to get professional personnel and students from the Western world to perform work training for their Tanzanian counterparts.

Our film program is our primary media tool to give visibility to community issues for the public in common in Tanzania.



Typical day

Filmmaking does not look watch.

Scriptwriting can happen at any time. Many even prefer nighttime when it is peaceful. Also, the local team likes evening hours as they are free for the scripts and teamwork commonly happening online.

Editing is more like scheduled work; one can enjoy regular working hours.

Overall, this work does not know time limitations, but the team is very flexible, and you can always find a compromise.

When you book your trip through AIT, you will have the experience of a lifetime while supporting the local Tanzania community.
