Nollywood Week will take place in the heart of Paris
at L’Arlequin Theatre. During the course of the festival, seven of the best
feature length films by Nigerian directors will be screened throughout each day

This year, Nollywood turns 21. Now is the perfect
time to shift gears away from its perception of low-quality films and move
towards bringing recognition to the most influential story-teller in Africa.
The Nigerian film industry has gone beyond national borders obtaining worldwide
recognition. Now, it will become known to the inhabitants of France, the
birthplace of cinema.
