KD Century Film Festival is this Month

KDCentury Film Festival is organised by Ilmihouse as a commemoration of nearly 100 years of film in Nigeria. The first of its kind in Kaduna, it is set to showcase the talent of the film professionals in Nigeria and for the first time in a film festival there is a special category of short shorts and captioned stills to showcase the budding young talent in the region.

It will bring worthy filmmakers to local and wider attention, and provide a forum for appreciative and informed discussion of their work.

KDCenturyFF is especially interested in films by emerging filmmakers whose work is original with strength of form.
