  "summary": "The Kenya Film Commission (KFC) and Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT) have unveiled an ultra-modern cinema theatre in Nyeri, marking a significant step in the national conversation on film distribution. The KFC – CineHub Nyeri, dubbed as a complete creative ecosystem, aims to bring together film exhibition, audience development, capacity building, research and innovation, talent incubation, and creative entrepreneurship under one roof. The facility was launched in a ceremony that also saw the graduation of 139 young creatives who completed a film capacity-building programme, demonstrating the region's appetite for practical film skills. The principal secretary for the State Department for Youth Affairs and the Creative Economy, Fikirini Katoi Jacobs, described the facility as a tangible demonstration of the government's commitment to the creative economy and decentralisation of opportunities.",
