Zuma film festival will deepen cultural exchange, creative value chain: NFC
The Nigerian Film Corporation says the Zuma International Film Festival will deepen cultural exchange, attract meaningful investment, and strengthen the creative value chain from development to distribution through cinemas.
NFC chief Ali Nuhu said this at the opening of the 15th edition of ZUFF on Monday in Abuja.
Mr Nuhu, who is also the chairman of the festival, noted that the film festival has become a statement of who Nigerians are, a nation of storytellers, cultural ambassadors, and creative innovators whose voices continue to travel far beyond borders.
“Today, as we gather again, we reaffirm that identity with pride. This year’s festival comes at a time when Nigerian and African stories are influencing global culture more than ever before.
“Across borders and digital platforms, our narratives are shaping conversations, sparking curiosity, and opening doors for new collaborations, and such momentum is what brings us together today.
“It is diplomacy, heritage, economic strategy, and how nations shape perceptions and build bridges. Through this festival, we will explore how cinema can deepen cultural exchange, attract meaningful investment, and strengthen the creative value chain from development to distribution,” Mr Nuhu said.
Mr Nuhu added that this year’s festival has been intentionally curated to achieve that vision of strengthening the creative value chain from development to distribution.
“Let us challenge ourselves, inspire one another, and continue transforming our creative gifts into global impact,” he advised.
