Hollywood actors Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors are in Lagos for this year's Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), now in its 13th edition. The couple's arrival adds a Hollywood presence to the week-long gathering of filmmakers, actors and other creatives from Africa and beyond.
AFRIFF is built around African storytelling, giving filmmakers a place to show their work and meet industry professionals from other parts of the world. This year's edition opened on November 1 and runs until November 7, with events spread across several venues, including the Landmark Event Centre.
Why they came
Majors told the media that the diaspora movement is shifting, and that a friend called to ask them to come. He said he and his wife are in Lagos to back the film and cinema industry and to look for collaborations.
The festival programme includes master classes, panel sessions and screenings, according to organisers' schedule as reported. Good and Majors are among the international figures attending.
What it means for Nigerian film
For Nigerians working in film, the visit is a chance for local creatives to meet international stars face to face and talk about working together. Nollywood already travels well across Africa and the diaspora, and festivals like AFRIFF are where deals and partnerships often begin.
The festival continues through the week, with screenings and sessions at its various centres. Nigerians in Lagos can check the programme for public screenings and events.
