Executive Director, AFRIFF, Chioma Ude, noted that the festival, for the past 10 years, has worked on developing an indigenous film industry whose products can compete favourably in the international space.
According to her, the festival, which will be held from November 7 to 13 at Filmhouse Cinemas, Landmark Retail Village, opens with Michael Pearce’s eagerly anticipated sci-fi thriller, Encounter, which stars Emmy award winner and Oscar and Golden Globe nominee Riz Ahmed and Oscar-Winning actress, Octavia Spencer.
Singer and Songwriter, Sidney Esiri, popularly known as Dr Sid, speaking on gaming and animation, said the communities are closely related, adding that there is a big gap in animation content in Africa. This is the reason the festival has included a training session on animation.
