NFVCB trains Kannywood filmmakers on innovative content creation, distribution
The National Film and Video Censors Board(NFVCB) has provided hands-on training for Kannywood filmmakers on innovative know-how for film production and distribution in the digital era.
Kannywood is a moniker for the Hausa-language movie industry.
The training was held for two days at the Kannywood TV Hall in Kano.
Filmmakers, including directors, producers, cinematographers, editors, actors and skit makers drawn from the region, were part of participants for the two-day event, with seasoned industry practitioners as resource persons.
The thematic contents of the training included production, cinematography and directing, with master class sessions by representatives of TikTok and YouTube on the distribution and monetisation of contents on digital platforms.
Shaibu Husseini, NFVCB CEO, told NAN on the sideline that the conference was part of the board’s commitment to stakeholders’ engagement as a regulator.
He said the training aimed to bridge the knowledge gap in filmmaking and distribution for industry players in Kannywood.
Ahmad Sarari, managing director of Kannywood TV and co-host of the event, lauded NFVCB for the initiative, adding that the training was a springboard towards bridging existing knowledge gaps for filmmakers.
Mr Sarari urged participants to diligently apply their thoughts to ensure that marketable films were produced.
