EyimofeThough all is set for the homecoming of a Nigerian feature film, Eyimofe (This Is My Desire), having screened at prestigious film festivals across the globe, it seems the international film community is not yet done with the film, which premiered at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival in Germany.
Ahead of its Nigerian premiere on April 18, at the Ebonylife Place, Victoria Island, Lagos, which will be followed by the cinematic release on April 23, the Museum of Modern Art and Film at Lincoln Center (FLC), New York, has announced the selection of Eyimofe for the 50th-anniversary edition of New Directors/New Films (ND/NF). Available from April 28 – May 8 via virtual cinema, in-person screenings will be extending through May 13, at FLC.
Weeks, after it was announced for this year’s MOOOV Film Festival in Belgium, the Nigerian feature film, Eyimofe (This is my desire), has been selected for the 2021 edition of Cinémas d’Afrique Festival in France. Eyimofe, which will have its Nigerian cinematic release on April 23, will be at the festival alongside other films such as Aza Kivy, As long as we live, Awel Ayta, and Brotherhood.
Cinémas et Cultures d’Afrique, organisers of the festival, is a non-profit association created in 1992. It is the heir to the Tohu Bohu association created in 1987. Taking place every two years in Angers in the spring, Cinémas d’Afrique is a story of the heart of Africa; a desire to communicate this curiosity for a vast continent full of human and artistic riches.
