Eric Kabera (born in 1970) is a Rwandan journalist and filmmaker and founder and president of Rwanda Cinema Center.
Eric Kabera, a Rwandan, was born in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Due to Kabera's desire to show the films to as large an audience as possible, the festival is held not only in the capital of Kigali but the films, especially ones made by Rwandan filmmakers, are also shown on large inflatable screens in rural areas throughout the country.
[3] Partly to help further promote the film festival, Kabera has started a project to build Rwanda's first purpose-built movie theatre in Kigali.
The theatre has been under construction since at least 2007 but progress is slow due to lack of funds necessary to complete the project.
