The rising impact of film festivals on the Nigerian film industry is becoming noticeable, making them more valuable than they used to be back in the day. With filmmakers, stakeholders, and film enthusiasts now aware of the power film festivals yield in expanding the reach of films, we continue to see an influx of films showcased at these festivals.<\/b><\/p>\n

Over the years, things have moved from filmmakers struggling to premiere their projects to having screenings at film festivals all over the world, and in a way expanding their reach from just Nigeria to even more people.<\/span><\/p>\n

As easy as that sounds, there are still challenges limiting how much a filmmaker can do with film festivals. This is significantly harder for rising filmmakers with slim budgets to work with as other factors like traveling, securing visas, and more hinder their plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there are now film festivals in Nigeria that are reputable in Africa and around the world, bridging this gap and making things easier for Nigerian filmmakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

On WN Picks<\/a> this week, we highlight some of the top film festivals in Nigeria, looking into when they started as well as what they offer to impact growth.<\/span><\/p>\n
