Lights, Camera Africa!!! Film Festival Presents The Sixth Edition: ‘Music Makes The People…’

A note, a beat, rhythm, harmony, a melody, a tune… MUSIC.

This September, the Lights, Camera, Africa!!! Film Festival brings to audiences an offering of films under the banner ‘Music Makes the People…’

The three days festival is an unabashed display of works of film that speak to the power of music and indeed other art forms to create love, express sorrow, build bridges and end wars.

It is a feast that is dedicated to screening the very best of emerging, fresh, independent African cinema and in particular celebrating the musical voice of film.

The Lights, Camera, Africa!!! Film Festival, through its consistently bold representation of diverse African cinema shares its sixth edition with a theme that is perhaps the most appropriate motifs for its native city; Lagos.

Featuring the famous Festival Souk, inter-disciplinary showcases of literature, visual art and live music, the festival promises to be one of a lifetime.
