Nigeria is putting up an impressive outing at the ongoing Berlinale film festival taking place in Berlin, with Dr. Ali Nuhu, NFC’s Managing Director meeting key stakeholders to explore opportunities for bilateral film production cooperation. In a significant development, Dr. Nuhu has already met with Mr. Plazanet Michel, a Director from the CNC of Paris, to discuss an existing cooperation between Nigeria and France. The cooperation between the both nations is set to continue, with CNC confirming that they are ever ready to support NFC and the Nigerian film industry to build the sector.
NFC has been working tirelessly to promote the industry and provide opportunities for Nigerian filmmakers to showcase their works globally. Dr. Nuhu’s meeting with Mr. Michel is a significant step in strengthening the existing partnership.
CNC has equally expressed its willingness to have a delegation visit Nigeria for further need assessment engagements with the NFC for the development Nigerian film industry. The proposed visit will provide a valuable opportunity for the two organizations to identify innovative opportunities in support of the growth of the Nigeria’s film industry.
Dr. Nuhu, expressed his appreciation for the role CNC played in creating an enabling platform for investments in Nigeria’s creative industry being undertaken by the French Agency for Development (AFD), and the IDICE Fund; including the film industry feasibility study carried out by Philip Consulting, Nigeria.
With the support of CNC and other international partners, the NFC is set to increase its film industry promotion and development offerings.
