Nigeria Launches 'Screen Nigeria' Initiative to Shine at Cannes Film Festival 2025 and Boost Nollywood Globally

Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Art, Tourism, Culture, and Creative Economy (FMATCCE) has announced 'Screen Nigeria,' a new initiative set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2025. This platform is designed to elevate Nigeria's film, television, and audiovisual industry on the global stage, showcasing the nation's talent and encouraging international collaboration. 'Screen Nigeria' is a key part of the 'Nigeria Everywhere' campaign, aiming to consolidate industry efforts and bolster Nollywood's global influence. It addresses the challenge of limited access to the global market for Nigerian creators by promoting Nigeria as a prime destination for film productions, post-production, animation, and game creation. The initiative will feature a dedicated Nigerian Pavilion at major film festivals, serving as a hub for networking and business deals. This strategic approach aims to attract foreign investment, enhance the industry's economic impact, and drive job creation, aligning with the Destination 2030 vision for economic growth.
