Film Festival | The Lights Camera Africa!!! | Theme - "Reset."
The 2017 Lights Camera Africa!!! Festival aims to bring to its
audiences, a reflective presentation of films that it hopes will support a
common contemplation on opportunities for a "reset' of the weakening world
order.
"We hope you are as excited as we are about bringing the people of Lagos a wonderful screening programme dedicated to the best of independent and African film as well as our family and industry-engaging offerings through discussions, talks and family-friendly programming," Ugoma Adegoke, the festival's director said.
This year’s programme hopes to demonstrate the
festival’s commitment to its mission of exposing African and global audiences
to good quality independent African cinema, with a view to stimulating
discourse on issues and experiences rooted in the African experience.
In partnership with the African Film Festival New York, the three-day 2017 edition will screen films that examine these issues in the political, science and arts sphere
Over the years, the festival has had support from
scholars, directors, artists and personalities like Tunde Kelani, Peace
