The creative industry in the Zambezi Region has welcomed the NBC leadership's engagement, saying greater access to the corporation could create more opportunities for talent and strengthen them.

Creative industry actors walked away with awards at the Namibian Theatre and Film Awards ceremony yesterday after a six-year break.

Under the theme "A New Season: Celebrating Transition, Resilience and Growth", the awards recognised creative excellence across theatre and film.

This evening marks the return of the Namibian Theatre and Film Awards ceremony after a six-year hiatus.

The awards celebrate Namibia's creative talent and growth in the arts sector. 

The long break has resulted in a high number of entries, particularly in the dance and theatre categories. 

The Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sport, Arts & Culture (MEIYSAC) has reiterated its commitment to uplifting Namibia's creative sector.

Deputy Minister Dino Ballotti vowed to strengthen support for artists and industry players.
