The 15-minute short film, directed by Stanlee Ohikhuare, veteran filmmaker stars Nollywood actors Ndubisi Donald, Funky Mallam, Daniel O. David, David Ohikhuare, Napoleon EH and Stephenie Ohikhuare.

‘Coat of Harm’ is about two dead neighbors who have one last discussion as corpses in a local morgue after one of them facilitates a terror attack that results in their death.

Their conceived closeness in life is scrutinised in death, as they both make new discoveries of innate hate that are fueled by ‘indoctrination’.

The Cannes ‘court metrage’ (or short film corner) is an attempt to offer an all-encompassing panorama of short film production worldwide, as well as to stimulate the creativity of short film artistes.
