JITU FILMS LAUNCHES ANTI PIRACY PRICES

Jitu Films have taken the first step in killing the piracy underworld by selling their movies at a super affordable price this month.
All their DVDs will be sold only for Ksh30 in all Nakumatt supermarkets countrywide. This is the chance for someone to get all our five films Selfish?, Chasing Moses, Zeinabu Rudi Nyumbani, R2 Security and Mob Doc for only pocket Ksh150.

Alex Konstantaras said, “This is a limited offer and only for July in order to celebrate the fact that our DVDs will be sold in seven new Nakumatt outlets: City Hall, Moi Avenue, Eldoret, Kakamega, Nanyuki, Nyali and Diani. Also we are hoping that through the high sales we can attract companies in order to advertise on our DVDs, a popular advertising method that is not explored here in Kenya yet. Similar offers are coming with other leading Super market chains and also with new DVDs.”

A Jitu Films production was screened at the European Film Festival in Thessaloniki, Greece on Wednesday 18. Chasing Moses is the only African movie being screened at the 50th edition of the festival on the Digital Wave section that supports young and upcoming filmmakers who make use of the digital technology. The movie was shot on location in Kibera slum and Olorigesaille.
The film’s director Alexandros Konstantaras says he will bring in a few Kenyan and Congolese students from the Thessaloniki University where his father teaches chemistry to experience a Kenyan movie. So far Kenyan actress Lizz Njagah has also participated in the screening of the movies at the festival that started last Friday.
