Three films produced by Nigerians are among the 60 films from around the world that have been lined up for screening at this year’s Joburg Film Festival underway in Sandton, South Africa.
The Nigerian films are Living in Bondage — Breaking Free (directed by Ramsey Noah), The Herbert Macaulay Affair (directed by Imoh Umoren) and Farming (directed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje).
The six-day Joburg Film Festival, sponsored by the Multichoice Group began on Tuesday with the South African premiere of a local horror film, 8, telling the tale of an old man fated to collect souls for eternity who then seeks atonement after trading his daughter’s soul.
The Joburg Film Festival features a curated mix of 60 of the finest films and documentaries from across Africa and around the world, between 19 and 24 November – including a once-off screening of South Africa’s 2020 Academy Award contender, Knuckle City.
Films produced by graduates of the M-Net Magic in Motion (MiM) internship programme and the MultiChoice Talent Factory’s (MTF) Academies in East, West and Southern Africa will also be screened at the dedicated structure on Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton and at Kings Theatre in Alexandra, at no cost.
