Nolywood Week festival in Paris: The best African cinema has to offer

The cinema industry in Nigeria, known as Nollywood, is the second-largest on the planet in terms of films produced, after Bollywood. Over the next few days, the best TV and films from across Africa are being showcased in Paris for the tenth edition of Nollywood Week. The festival celebrates the newest voices on the scene, highlights the best that African cinema has to offer and brings it to a French public. This year, it features South African sci-fi, a security guard’s story in Nairobi and a brotherly tale of fighting for survival on the streets of Lagos. Nadira Shakur, the co-founder of Nolywood Week, told Gavin Lee what to expect.
