African Film Institute (AFI), a cultural organization with bias for innovation, diplomacy, education, advancement and strategy is redesigning, repartitioning and remolding old things in the film industry, representing them in new ways and introducing new ideas, as well as repositioning ordinary people, preparing them through skills acquisition trainings to become ordinary people equipped and commissioned to do consistently and in a very unique, positive and impactful ways extra-ordinary things for the good and betterment of the Nigerian society and the global community, beginning in Plateau state.
In Jos, the Plateau state capital, the African Film Institute has revealed that the institute is always muscle ready, navigating and shooting from different locations, directions and angles, putting in place strategies, communicating effectively and ensuring that the right steps are always taken to equip her over 400 trainees currently undergoing a 6 months skills acquisition training (now in the 4th month) on film making and creative media production with quality practical skills (hands-on), such that is comparable to global standards.
The institute is equally, generous enough to keep creating opportunities to continuously expose the trainees under her tutelage, grooming and nurturing ability to relevant field experiences, required to make them outstandingly bold and skillfully remarkable, to give their best, and compete favourably with the best of the bests in the film industry, locally and internationally.
Suffice to say, the African Film Institute and her over 400 trainees, comprising male and female, old and young, postgraduates, graduates, undergraduates, and others that have gathered in the now cold, always serene and captivating City of Jos, Plateau state, North central Nigeria for the soon to end 6 months film making and creative media production skills acquisition training, are now pre-occupied with only one fundamental mandate, to impact, transform and reposition the fast growing film industry, and emerging creative economy of Nigeria.
Keen observers and followers of what the African Film Institute has been doing in Jos in the last 4 months, an effort the observers has dubbed “Quest” for change and renewal. They claim AFI is leading a quest totally centered on general transformation of the Film industry in Nigeria, which they believe AFI is doing through enhanced capacity building. The core benefits and real impact of the AFI’s efforts in Jos, Plateaus state will continue to be explored by Scoreline, and in subsequent publications of this Platform. Thank you for reading us.
