The festival streamed all the films selected exclusively online for the first time in its 8-year history. However, it was About a Boy, a story about the psychological games played between a writer and his muse, that received the highest honor at the film festival.
The announcement of the winning film marked the culmination of this diet of the festival, where 15 feature-length and 18 short films — from Africa and the African Diaspora — were showcased to a global audience.
The film’s director Diji Aderogba said:“I am grateful to God. I am so happy for Adio and Funmi, my producers. They put in a lot of hard work. Being a part of this film festival and winning the Audience Award is just amazing.” Diji Aderogba will receive use of a range of top-of-the-line lenses from the Angénieux brand with which to shoot their next film. Previous winners include international Nollywood favorites such as The Wedding Party, Isoken and King of Boys.
In addition to film screenings, the 4-day film festival offered panel discussions on screenwriting, funding within the African animation sector and distributing African content.
