About Nigerian International Film Summit
NIFS has evolved over the years into an international platform for the African film industry, fostering business, networking, and capacity building among African film professionals and creative entrepreneurs.
NIFS as a B2B and professional matchmaking event for film professionals across the continent, has successfully driven very high-level conversations and networking opportunities for film professionals, producers, buyers, distributors, financiers and investors on new and existing film business innovations, ideas, while building capacity building for the industry and providing various financing opportunities, and very high-level international film business networking opportunities.
Since 2017, the main objective and core mandate of this B2B professional event is to provide a platform for African and Diaspora filmmakers and content producers in the film industry to learn new and emerging film business strategies around content development and production, licensing, and distribution, film financing, and international co-productions, thereby seeking to build the needed capacity for the film industry and close up the glaring gaps in film business which has formed a ceiling of limitation on the growth and expansion of the film industry in Africa.
