*OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* _Courtesy of GLOPRESS | Segan GloMedia_ *RUM & ROOTS LANDS AT OMNI AI FILM FESTIVAL 2026 — UNSW SYDNEY | FOUNDERS* Harare, Zimbabwe — 26 July 2026 — Zimbabwean filmmaker Adelaide ‘Segan’ Ganyani announces that her AI-powered short film _RUM & ROOTS_ has been officially selected for the OMNI AI FILM FESTIVAL 2026. The film will screen at UNSW SYDNEY | FOUNDERS, joining a global lineup of stories pushing the edge of what AI and cinema can do together. Set in rural Hwange, “Where Tradition, Wine and Wilderness Unite Us” follows Zuri, a filmmaker from the diaspora, and Tinashe, a young man reclaiming his family’s baobab wine legacy. It’s a story of memory, loss, and renewal — told through Zimbabwean roots and built with AI tools. After showings in London and at AI for Good 2026, _RUM & ROOTS_ continues its journey. This Sydney selection puts African innovation and heritage on one of the world’s biggest AI film stages. “This is bigger than a screening,” said Adelaide Ganyani. “It’s proof. That our stories matter. That our tools are here. That a claypot in Hwange can speak to a room in Sydney. This is for every young creative in Africa building with what they have.” #GLOPRESS #RUMANDROOTS #OMNIAIFilmFestival #UNSWFounders #SydneyScreening #AfricanStorytelling #AIForCinema #SeganGloMedia

Lupita Nyong’o Actor | Producer | Storyteller Born in Mexico to Kenyan parents and raised in Nairobi, Lupita Nyong’o brought African resilience to the global stage with her Oscar-winning role as Patsey in 12 Years a Slave, 2013.
