Following the success of the pre-summit event held in September, it’s time for yet another remarkable showcase of faith-based creativity in the Nigerian movie industry, as Kingdom Film Festival (KFF) holds in Lagos from November 27 to 28, 2024.
This year’s KFF will host an array of influential speakers and filmmakers, including industry giants like Dr. Shaibu Husseini and Femi Odugbemi, who will share their insights on transforming societal mindsets through faith-based content. Michelle Bello, known for her unique storytelling techniques, will also feature prominently, engaging attendees with her cinematic journey and creative strategies.
The festival will spotlight an inspiring panel session on effective distribution strategies for filmmakers, featuring key industry players from Silverbird Film Distribution, Film One, Sky Cinema, Nile Entertainment and many more.
The festival’s founder, Mrs. Ewoma Luther-Abegunde, has been the driving force behind KFF, championing the vision of integrating faith and film to shape societal narratives. She said: “This year’s Kingdom Film Festival is more than an event; it’s a movement. We’re redefining how we tell our stories, making sure they align with values that inspire, influence and uplift society.”
Ewoma revealed further that there would be masterclasses offering hands-on learning experiences from top-tier industry experts. Notable sessions include “Producing Success,” by Mr. Chris Odeh, “Creative Visionaries in Directing,” with Biodun Stephen, and “Acting for Impact,” by Blossom Chukwujekwu.
According to the founder, attendees can also look forward to an immersive screenwriting workshop with Damilola Bamiloye and a practical class on smartphone filmmaking with Oladipo O-Fresh.
“This year’s festival aims to not only showcase faith-driven films, but also equip filmmakers with the knowledge and tools to navigate the evolving film landscape effectively. With its focus on merging faith and creativity, KFF 2024 is set to be a transformative experience for participants, making a significant mark on the Nigerian film industry. Join us at the EbonyLife Cinema, Lagos for an invigorating and future thinking film festival,” Ewoma declared.
