The first ever Nollywood Travel Film Festival is scheduled to take place from September 12 to 16 in Toronto, during the annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) holding in Canada from September 7 to 17, 2017.
Short films to be screened at the festival include The Encounter by Tolulope Ajayi; Ireti by Tope Oshin; Meet My Parents by Lonzo Nzekwe; Silence by Tolulope Ajayi and No Good Turn by Udoka Oyeka.
The feature-length films are Kada River, 10 Days in Sun City, Catch.er, Lotanna, Lost in London, Excess Luggage, Esohe, Mansoor, Oloibiri, Unveil, Slow Country, and Alter Ego.
Founder of Nollywood Travel Film Festival, Mykel Parish said, ‘The Nollywood Travel Film Festival celebrates the best of Nigerian cinema and will be hosted in major cities around the world.
‘It will be a weekend of special indoor and outdoor screenings, inspiring discussions, meeting, parties and awards.’
According to Parish, who is also President of African Film Consortium (AFC), since TIFF’s city-to-city programme has been rested after Nollywood’s outing in Toronto last year, the initiative paves the way for a suitable alternative.
