Field notes
The venue is identified as the Fankeenna courtyard on Airport Road, behind Gacalle Hotel, and the site provides a map link and contact details. Its 2025 recap reports 40 films screened, including 12 by Somali filmmakers, and lists winners from Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan. The current page also gives a December 2026 date range while noting that the programme will come later.
