The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr Thomas Tayebwa, has told filmmakers to count on the government’s support in bolstering the sector’s growth.

While presiding over the 10th edition of the Uganda Film Festival awards gala at Uganda Institute of Information and Communications Technology (UICT) in Nakawa, Kampala last Friday, Mr Tayebwa urged filmmakers to task the government for support and funding.
