Forty emerging filmmakers graduated from the Kunle Afolayan Productions (KAP) Film and Television Academy on Monday after completing an intensive three-week advanced filmmaking masterclass.
The diploma course, a partnership programme between KAP and the French embassy, provided participants with a comprehensive education in filmmaking.
The curriculum covered various aspects of the craft, including screenwriting, acting, directing, producing, cinematography, editing, sound design, production design, and film business.
Participants learnt from renowned industry experts, including Kunle Afolayan, Tunde Kelani, Bimbo Akintola, Tunde Babalola, Ope Ajayi, and Judith Audu.
The facilitators shared their knowledge and experience, providing participants with valuable insights into filmmaking.
The participants also learnt the essential filmmaking processes such as pre-production, directing, acting, cinematography, production design, and post-production, culminating in creating their short films.
The budding filmmakers were presented with certificates during the convocation ceremony at the KAP Hub in Ikeja, Lagos.
At the event, Christophe Pecot, the audiovisual attaché at the French embassy in Nigeria, encouraged the graduates to develop good scripts to attract foreign investments.
“In implementing this workshop, I think it has been a great partnership, and this is the kind of opportunity we could not miss. Indeed, the French Embassy has always supported collaboration between our two countries in the audiovisual sector,” Pecot added.
Last month, the United States embassy in Nigeria also partnered with KAP Film & Television Academy to train aspiring filmmakers.
