The Movie “THE LIMIT “ Ibinabo Fiberesima’s Production.
It’s a story about a young couple so much in love, and the mother of the husband come visiting. The wife shows so much love to her, but she can’t understand their lifestyles. The mother dies and a lot of blames were passed around. Eventually the truth is heard, but too many heartbreaks already.

To date, South Africa has 8 co-production treaties with Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, France and Ireland.
Germany has been the leading co-producing partner.
Between 2010 and 2011 a total of 18 films were co-produced by South Africa and Germany.

And we are still contesting for bragging rights with South Africa that with only a population of 53 million people,has over 125 cinemas with over 750 movie theater screens, whereas Nigeria does not even have up to 75 screens for the most populous nation in Africa with over 160 million people.

Does the Nigerian Film Corporation or National Film & Video Censors Board (NFVCB) have accurate reports of the Nigerian Box Office for the so called second or third largest film industry in the world?
Does the second or third largest film industry in the world have a film market?
How many foreign films have we bought the distribution rights and how many Nigerian films have we sold the distribution rights?
Does Nigeria have any film studios like the Cape Town Film Studios?
Who is fooling whom?

Can we PLEASE, tell ourselves some home truths and chew on the cud no matter how bitter?
Like the professional incompetence of some of those appointed to head film offices, corporations and organizations with dysfunctional administrations and the best thing one of them achieved in 2013 was having an unnecessary road show for “Half of A Yellow Sun” during the 38th annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Am I kidding you?
No, they actually had a typical Nigerian jamboree?
Then they went with an entourage to woo foreign investors to the Nigerian film industry.
When they cannot even give accurate data and audit of the Nigerian Box Office or sales of DVDs of Nigerian movies?

Can we have a compendium or directory of Nigerian movies in the last five years that we can present at the next Cannes Film Festival?
Where can we get prints of feature films made in Nigeria since the first film “Palaver” was shot in Jos in 1904?

Can the Nigerian Film Corporation or Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) show us a documentary report of the first National Film Festival held in 1992 and address the ignorance of those making spurious claims over which is the first local and the first international film festival in Nigeria?

Can we see the Nollywood classic “Living in Bondage” at the cinemas?
It would have been great if we saw it at the cinemas or even on AfricaMagic to celebrate Nollywood at 20.
Well how about showing to mark Nollywood at 22 (1992-2014)?:)

Can we have an annual monthly screenings of classics of Nigerian Cinema like films from the “SIX DECADES OF MOTION PICTURE” as documented in “REEL VIEWS” by veteran filmmaker and author Afolabi Adesanya, published in 2012.

Does the National Library and National Museum have sections for Nigerians movies?

Speaking on some of the decisions taken by the Jurors, Ms. Givanni who presided over the AGM revealed that the Jury made some amendments of the award categories adding that the awards organization and the jury are poised to deliver a good tenth year anniversary event.

“We made some changes on the award categories. We have introduced an award that is named after former President Nelson Mandela called Madiba Africa Vision Awards which will be given at the discretion of the Jury to any film captures the essence and vision of the category. The category of Best Film by African Living Abroad has been cancelled.

We also renamed two categories after two exceptional Africans who have contributed to the growth and development of the film industry. The Best Film in African Language will now be Sembene Ousmane Awards for Best Film in African Language while the Best Short Film Award category will now be called Efere Ozako Award for Best Short Film. AMAA is immortalizing the names of these two great men with the awards,” she said.

Ms Givanni also said that a new category Best Director First Feature Film has been introduced to encourage young and upcoming film directors to continue to strive for excellence and best practices.

Over 700 films were entered for the awards in 2013 from over 40 countries within Africa and the Diaspora and the award has been described by international media most especially CNN as the Africa’s Oscars.

The awards organization also holds nominations gala night where nominees are announced for different categories across different African cities to drive home the pan-African vision of the scheme with the last 2013 nomination gala night was hosted in Lilongwe, Malawi by President Joyce Banda who has now also endowed a prize for the best film depicting positive stories about women.

“There is this great awareness of the possibilities in Africa. This has been an exciting year for African cinema as many big budget productions have been produced on the continent and distribution is becoming more accessible to African films,” says AMAA founder Academy CEO Peace Anyiam-Osigwe.

The primary aim of the African Movie Academy Awards (popularly known AMAA) is to facilitate the development and showcase the social relevance of African Film and Cinema.

Adele’s album 21 has broken a new record by becoming the first album to be downloaded three million times.

The Rolling In The Deep singer released her second album 21 in 2011 but it is still selling so well that it has become the first to reach the milestone, according to the Daily Mirror.

But the figure doesn’t take into consideration physical copies bought, which takes the album’s total sales up to 10,798,000.

A further 40,000 sales were made from its vinyl release and Nielsen SoundScan has placed it at number 13 on the list of best-selling albums since 1991.

Oscar-winner Adele is said to be working on her third album at the moment. Her first, titled 19, was released in 2008.

With a couple of award wins to its credit, multiple nominations at the Nollywood Movies Awards 2013 and an official selection at the 4th Eko International Film Festival, EKOIFF 2013, the much anticipated DVD release of Bright Wonder’s flick, which is barely few days away is signed and sealed awaiting
delivery.
Scheduled to hit the DVD market on Monday, December 9, 2013, all plans has been concluded with Paulo International Concepts for its marketing and distribution, nationwide.

Broken movie which starred Nse Ikpe Etim, Kalu Ikeagwu, Bimbo Manuel, Iyke adiele, Tehilla Adiele and a host of others had a spectacular première at the Silverbird Cinemas Abuja in March 28, 2013. A social movie it is which tends to underscore the adverse effects of child abuse and poor parental upbringing. The movie is centred on the lives of two adults, past lovers and once married but along the line their lives was thrown into chaos as the mistakes of their past including the aftermath of children they failed to bring up properly in their selfish union, hunted their present as asylum, death-roll and street living marred their once sane lives.
