British Film Institute Events Lagos to London: A Nollywood Masterclass Join this special event to learn about the world's third-largest
moving picture industry, the Nollywood phenomenon! Growing out of Nigeria's
declining celluloid film industry in the 80s, Nollywood relied on low-budget
production and local video distribution. As it grew, its films related
to a much wider pan-African audience and, more recently, to worldwide
diaspora communities. Professor Duro Oni from the University of Lagos
Creative Arts School considers its historical context, and acclaimed directors
Tunde Kelani and Amaka Igwe present extracts from their work and discuss
its unique production and distribution. Nollywood Screenings In advance of this special event, we're also offering a unique opportunity to sample the latest drama productions from the two directors who'll be discussing their work and its contexts: Images of Another Day The Narrow Path Both screenings are free, but tickets must be booked in advance. To reserve your place, call the Box Office on (020) 7928 3232.
