Following Amazon’s acquisition of films from our film catalog last year, we are now strategically positioned to help filmmakers distribute their titles with our landmark partnership with international streaming platforms. This year, we are already in talks with a multitude of streaming platforms interested in licensing and acquiring films from the festival.  We are proud to present this year’s programme dedicated to the incredible opportunities Amazon Prime video and others offer Nigerian filmmakers going forward, enabling us to dream and continue to innovate and create exciting and vibrant experiences for our audience.”
