From Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June 2016, the Nollywood Week festival will
take up residence at the Arlequin cinema in Saint Germain des Prés (75006). Supported
by the internationally renowned Beninese musician, Angélique Kidjo, the 4th
edition of Nollywood Week (2016) is set to be a celebration of diversity.

The festival will be a unique opportunity for those in Paris to enjoy the
singer’s most recent cinematic work, with an advance screening of Kunle
Afolayan’s film “The CEO”.
Angélique Kidjo, who a few months ago received a Grammy Award for her
latest album, now publicly showcases a masterly interpretation of Dr Zimmerman,
a starring role tailor-made for this global icon who never ceases to surprise
us.
“The CEO” offers viewers an eclectic and Pan-African cast with actors from
Nigeria, Morocco, South Africa, Kenya and the Ivory Coast allowing this film to
paint an unusually authentic portrait of the continent today. Scheduled to open
the festival, “The CEO” is an eagerly awaited production.  The entire team behind the film will be there
to enjoy a privileged moment of interaction with the audience following the
screening.
