Nigerian Oscar Selection Committee calls for entries from filmmakers
Only five films are chosen from all international submissions from which a winner of the international feature film category is chosen.
Quite a significant development, it is the first time Nigeria would be putting in entries for the coveted Oscar awards.The NOSC on Saturday said the competition which invites films of any genre is open to Nigerian filmmakers living in Nigeria or in the Diaspora.Entries received will be scrutinised under the eligibility rules and the nominated film will represent Nigeria at the Academy Award 2020.
“The Committee also apologises for the late announcement which they said was due to delay in approval for the reconstituted 12-man committee by the Academy,” it said. “Submissions are expected to be done by post to the NOSC Secretariat at 614 Street, Area 1, Garki, Abuja, Nigeria. Interested filmmakers are advised to visit the NOSC website on http://www.thenosc.org or email [email protected] for further inquiries.”
