Organisers of NollywoodWeek Film Festival have announced a special screening for the much anticipated Kunle Afolayan’s new film; The CEO.

This was just as the festival organisers unveiled in Lagos recently, the official selection for the festival, taking place in Paris, France, from June 2 to June 5, 2016.

Recall that Afolayan, who is the brand ambassador of Air France, first met the airline’s top management who share the vision of NollywoodWeek, during the festival, last year.

Afolayan who is also ambassador for Peugeot was among the directors and actors who graced the official selection VIP cocktail for Nollywood industry professionals hosted by Mr. Laurent Polonceaux, the General Consul of France at his Lagos private residence.

It was also announced that this year, for the first time, the festival will showcase a selection of short films. The pact has seven short films which consist of Hex, Prey, Joy, The Encounter, Keko, Ireti and The Good Son.

NollywoodWeek is a film festival organized by the French-based association Okada Media, headed by Serge Noukoué and Nadira Shakur. The festival was created to fill the void of quality Nigerian cinema in the French market.

“This year we received an unprecedented amount of submissions of great quality which made the selection process very difficult,” Executive Director Serge Noukoué stated, adding that this is “a great sign that the industry is heading in the right direction.”
