NOLLYWOOD IN KENYA

Is it me or is Kenya making some serious inroads in the film industry. Frst it was Kenya's French connection at this year's Cannes (pronounced 'CAN'. As some pedantic people are at pains to mention every time I pronounce it 'Cainnes')and now Kenya is involved in a deal with Nollywood. these are exciting times for my brothers and sisters up north.

Kenyan press has stated that The Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) in partnership with Nollywood and the Nigeria High Commission in Kenya, has embarked on a road show to promote the Nigeria Movies Industry in the East African country.

The road show featured participants from Kenya Film Commission, Censorship Board, Actors Guild of Kenya, Media, scholars, workshop at US International University which has about 100 Nigerian students.
