The film festival held in Los Angeles, California, is a tribute to black film, art, and culture, and this year will feature the screening of more than 140 films accompanied by a diverse array of Q&A sessions and in-depth discussions.
Kenneth Gyang, the director of both Nigerian features shared with ShockNg his excitement about this year’s festival selection. “The Pan African Film Festival holds immense significance as it kickstarts the celebrations for Black History Month, providing a vital platform for cultural exchange and representation of diverse narratives from the African diaspora. As a cultural ambassador from Nigeria, I am excited to present these stories from Cinema Kpatakpata,” he expressed.
