Enthusiasts across the country and the globe converged on Lagos, last week, to witness the maiden edition of Real-Time Film Festival, which showcased an array of films. The four-day event, held both on the mainland and in the island began on September 29 and was rounded off on October 3. Founded by and for independent filmmakers, the festival served as platform for independent filmmakers to express themselves and showcase their films. It also brought together cinema enthusiasts, filmmakers and artists f to discover Nigeria’s rich culture and tourism. The vision of the festival, according to organizers, is to build a truly internationally accessible film festival in Africa. Apart from featuring free master classes by industry giants, discussion panels, short films and animations that showscase Africa’s diverse culture, the festival also served as an avenue to celebrate Nigeria’s veteran filmmakers with awards. Students, aspiring filmmakers, enthusiasts and actors were presented with the opportunity to acquire skills in directing, cinematography, lighting design and acting from some of the industry’s best hands. The mentors included Teco Benson, Yinka Edward, Uzo Okpechi and Iretiola Doyle. Participants also had the chance to interact with directors and producers of films that were screened in a question and answer session after each screening. The festival’s Artistic Director and multiple award winning filmmaker, Mr. Stanlee Ohikhuare, confirmed that 800 films were submitted for consideration for the festival from 60 different countries, but that 55 were shortlisted for screening. The use of modern technology was hyped, as it enabled some filmmakers and resource persons who were not physically present during the master classes to interface with participants via Skype. |

Checa este brutal cortometraje dirigido por un niño nigeriano de 12 años¿Te acuerdas de lo que hacías cuando tenías 12 años? ¿No? Bueno pues, para serte sinceros, nosotros tampoco. Pero si a David Ohikhuare, de 12 años, le hicieran la misma pregunta, podría deslumbrar con una respuesta tan interesante como que estuvo rodando su primer cortometraje, Dear John. Nada mal, ¿no?
Aunque ayuda que David sea el hijo del galardonado realizador de Nollywood, Stanlee Ohikhuare, sigue siendo un gran logro para ser obra de un niño. El cortometraje de 8 minutos muestra con mucho cariño al padre de David, Stanlee, y sus hermanos, Stephanie y Stacy. Dear John ya fue seleccionada para cinco festivales internacionales de cine y ya ganó el premio en la categoría de ‘Mejor Película dirigida por un niño’ en el Real-time Film Festival.
