ReplyDeleteVery good,,nice one
ReplyDeleteWith the calibre of people there, I'm hopeful that worthy movies would be put forward, preferably high-quality native language movies with excellent subtitling. #fingerscrossed!
ReplyDeleteGood .
ReplyDeleteI would have preferred the Nigerian Film Corporation and selected members of the Directors Guild of Nigeria, Actors Guild of Nigeria and Association of Movie Producers (AMP) of Nigeria to form the selection committee.
ReplyDeleteSome characters in the newly formed committee are not qualified to judge movies, because of the poor quality of the movies they have accepted to screen in their respective organizations.
You don't meet in one corner and form such an important committee to represent Nigeria without an open and transparent democratic process.
Did you see representative from the booming Hausa Film Industry among them?
So, Chineze makes one successful student movie and she is now an expert to become chairperson of such an important committee when more accomplished masters like Mahmood Ali-Balogun, Afolabi Adesanya, Brendan Shehu,TAM Fiofori, Dr. Hyginus Ekwuazi, Michelle Bello and Sandra Mbanefo Obiago are still active locally and internationally?
This committee is not it!
