In a disappointing move for film enthusiasts, the Uganda Film Festival 2026 has been postponed due to concerns over the Ebola outbreak. The festival, which was scheduled to take place in the Kampala Metropolitan Area, has been put on hold due to government directives aimed at preventing the spread of the disease. The Uganda Communications Commission announced the postponement on Wednesday, citing the need to prioritize public health and safety. The postponement of the festival is a significant blow to the film industry, which has been growing in recent years. However, the move is necessary to prevent the spread of the disease, and organizers are expected to announce new dates for the festival in the near future.
