AfriScreen: Why African Cinema Deserves a Global Audience

Introduction

If you've never watched a Nollywood film, you're missing one of the most dynamic storytelling cultures on the planet. Nigeria's film industry produces over 2,500 films per year — making it the second largest in the world by volume. Yet outside Africa, it remains largely invisible to mainstream audiences. AfriScreen exists to change that.

Section 1 — What is Nollywood?

Nollywood is Nigeria's film industry, born in the early 1990s with low-budget VHS productions that captured raw, everyday Nigerian life. Today, it has evolved into a sophisticated industry with Netflix deals, international festivals, and globally recognized stars. Films like King of Boys, Lionheart, and Brotherhood have proven that African stories can compete on any stage.
