CORA organizes Art Stampede for Nollywood
By AZUH AMATUS
This Sunday at the Freedom Park, Broad Street, Lagos, the Committee For Relevant Art, (CORA), in collaboration with the iREP Documentary Film Forum, will be having a special Art Stampede themed: New Trends in Nollywood.
Scheduled for 3pm, the Stampede is expected to interrogate the new Nollywood through an interactive public forum involving the producers and directors of what is certainly the new narrative in Nollywood.
The forum we reliably gathered will assemble producers/directors of such new narratives like: Figurine, Through the Glass, Reloaded, Tango With Me, Ije, Inale, Tenant, Bent Arrows, Champion of our Times, Bursting Loose, Holding Hope, Private Storm, Jungle Ride, In America, Anchor Baby, Mirror Boy, Alero’s Symphony, Lilies of the Ghetto, The Child and many others.
Many of these producers have affirmed their readiness to participate in this all-important discussion designed to examine the current challenges and prospects of the Nollywood industry, and pointing the way to a brighter and even more promising future.
“These are obviously works that have helped to shape and redefine movie making in Nollywood”, said CORA’s spokesman, Ayo Arigbabu. “We intend to engage those behind these works in an intellectually engaging and stimulating dialogue that will help us appreciate the new bend that Nollywood is negotiating”.
CORA is a 20-year old culture advocacy group specialising in stimulating debates around Nigerian and African cultural sectors. While, iREP is the pivot of the West African Documentary Forum, and organisers of the yearly iREPRESENT Documentary Film Festival, which made its debut in January this year.
