Perspective

Nollywood – Nigerian cinema – is the world's second-largest film industry in terms of output and has evolved a great deal since emerging in the 1990s. However, it still faces challenges as a relatively young industry, including profitability. One of the international events helping to shine a spotlight on films made in Nigeria and other African countries is the NollywoodWeek Film Festival in Paris. As the twelfth edition gets underway this week, we speak to Serge Noukoué and Nadira Shakur, the event's founders. They tell us how Nollywood filmmakers are now "much more daring" and discuss how the industry is navigating the age of streaming.
