BFM Film Club bringing the unseen to light

Welcome to Nollywood
Dir: Jamie Meltzer
The Nigerian film industry, known as “Nollywood”, has exploded in the last ten
years. Now the most popular cinema in all of West Africa - more popular even than
imports of Hollywood or Bollywood films - the Nigerian film industry has
distinguished itself by shooting all films (called “video-films”) on digital video.
The sheer volume of Nigerian video-films is staggering: one estimate has a film
being produced for each day of the year. Nollywood is now the third largest film
industry in the world, generating 286 million dollars per year for the Nigerian
economy. And yet this vibrant, profitable industry is virtually unknown outside of
Africa.
Screening will be followed by a discussion led by Tope Omoniyi, Professor of
Sociolinguistics, Roehampton University, and Coordinator of the Nigerian Films
Project.
Venue: Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), The Mall (just off Trafalgar Square).
Tickets: £8 non-members / £7 concession / £6 members
Book: 0207 930 3647 or online at www.ica.org.uk

Second Edition of the Bucharest Film Festival 2008
This years edition of the Bucharest Film Festival will take place from June
28 to July 6, 2008. Following the success from last years initial festival,
this cinematic event again focuses on Central and South East European
regions.
The programmers consider cinema as a mirror reflecting the needs and
mentalities of different societies. One of the main principles of selecting
films is drawing special attention to new filmmaking including their own
ways of expression. The aim is to promote talents, to fight the cultural
decay and to consolidate quality in culture, arts and mass media.
The competition programs are dedicated to Shorts and Documentaries, to
International Films and to long-features from the Black Sea Region.
Within the International Film section, regional directors and films will
have the opportunity of competing openly and directly with productions from
all over the world.
