According to Obasi, in a post on Twitter, Mami Wata will make a special presentation at the Surreal 16 Film Festival in Lagos on Saturday, December 9, 2023. He said, “Perfectly symbolic to end the year’s run with my S16 comrades…See y’all in Lagos”.
The festival which will hold at the Alliance Auditorium will also include a discussion with Obasi about the movie’s journey.
The feature story is set in the remote West African village of Iyi, where the villagers worship the mermaid deity with some guidance from Mama Efe, played by Rita Edochie, who acts as an intermediary between the people and the all-powerful water deity.
