The 13th edition of the Kalasha Film and TV Awards, held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on Saturday March 30, was a night filled with glitz, glamor, and an overwhelming celebration of cinematic excellence in Kenya.

As stars descended on the red carpet, the evening promised an unforgettable journey into the heart of Kenya's flourishing film industry.

Hosted by the charismatic duo of Macbull Mohammed and Sheila Mwanyigha, the event captivated attendees from the get-go.

The red carpet, managed by the suave Fareed Khimani and the ever-elegant Claudia Naisabwa, was a spectacle of fashion and style, setting the perfect preamble to an evening of accolades and acknowledgments.

The biggest winner of the night, Daudi Anguka, became the talk of the town with his production 'Mvera'.

Hailing from the Coast region, Anguka not only showcased the untapped talent reservoir of the area but also underscored the expansive growth trajectory of the Kenyan cinema industry.

Winners of the night not only walked away with prestigious trophies but also cash rewards and gift hampers.
