Emeka Rollas, National President, AGN, receiving the certificate of appreciation at the 20th edition of AIFF on Thursday night in AbujaThe Abuja International Film Festival has honoured the National Film and Video Censors Board , Actors Guild of Nigeria and other players in the film industry with Special Recognitions Awards.
According to him, the recipients of the awards are the Association of Movie Producers, Directors Guild of Nigeria and foremost filmmakers in the Nigerian film industry, among others. “I take this opportunity as the founder of the Abuja International Film Festival to reflect on the incredible journey of our festival over the past 20 years.
Mr Duker recalled that in the early days of the festival, film screening was a challenge due to the lack of dedicated cinema spaces, but it overcame the obstacle by leveraging outdoor screenings and makeshift theatres in hotels. According to him, this year’s edition of the festival explores the intersection between the rapidly evolving global film industry and the diverse cultures that shape it.
“On behalf of the AGN, I want to thank and celebrate the Abuja International Film Festival for being a part of the mentoring process for actors and would-be actors.”
