Chameleon Corridors is travelling to schools in all corners of Tanzania and Kenya, engaging students to connect with nature in an immersive way, with a narrative written for them in their own language.

A moment I’ll remember forever. 🏆🌿

Chameleon Corridors won Best African Film, Best Innovative Wildlife Storytelling, and the Nkaang’ Award, the highest honour at PWFF, Africa’s biggest wildlife film festival.

Nkaang’ means “home” in Maasai, which feels beautifully fitting for a festival that has become a home for African wildlife stories and storytellers.

Huge thanks to the PWFF team, and especially founder Fiona Tande, for championing African talent and giving our stories the stage they deserve.

This film was made by a fully Tanzanian crew, in Swahili, in the Eastern Arc Mountains, and its authenticity is exactly what helped it travel around the world. Congrats to our amazing team!

I hope more African storytellers feel inspired to tell our stories bravely, in our own way.

And if you love African wildlife and storytelling, be at the next PWFF.

Next chapter: Our impact campaign led by @siminickman supported by @earthalliance will be taking the film back across the Eastern Arc Mountains and using it to build pride, connection, visibility and protection for this extraordinary landscape. 🦎🌍 by @chameleoncorridors

Chameleon Corridors is screening at Pridelands Wildlife Film Festival 2026 ( pwffest ) and has been nominated for 3 awards.

This film captures the unique sights and sound of the Eastern Arc Mountains, through the lens of endemic chameleon species, exploring the intricate web of relationships in one of earth’s most ancient rainforest ecosystems.

As an art form meant to invite audiences to reflect on humanity’s role on Earth, @chameleoncorridors blends science, folklore, and conservation to revere nature, but to also highlight challenges around our relationship to it.

Shout out to the film Impact Producer @siminickman whose leadership keeps shaping the film’s global reach and tangible local conservation impact.

(In the reel: Filmmaker and Director @jiganatra shares behind-the-scenes reflections from production.)

Screening:
29 May, 7:30 PM
Alliance Française Mombasa — Garden Stage

Now in its 5th edition, PWFF 2026 is a 5-day festival spotlighting African, BIPOC, diaspora, Global South, and independent filmmakers, activists, and innovators.

If you hadn’t seen yet. 🎊🎬
We’re thrilled to share that Chameleon Corridors has been nominated in three categories at the 2025–2026 Pridelands Wildlife Film Festival
🏆 Best African Film
🏆 Best Short Film
🏆 Best Innovative Wildlife Storytelling

This recognition means a lot.
Shooting in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania, one of the most biodiverse and ancient places on the planet, meant trekking through misty forests, filming in near darkness, and using macrolenses to capture species found nowhere else.

More than a film, Chameleon Corridors is an invitation to see nature a little differently; it brings together science, local knowledge, and community voices.
Follow along with us on this journey as more stories from the Eastern Arc Mountains are on the way.
