CNN’s Avant Garde tells the 8th AMVCAs story

From the conceptualization to the delivery, the 8th AMVCAs was an upgrade from previous editions.

The ceremony was a special exhibition of African creativity and talents. It was an inclusive eight-day showcase of African fashion, culture, food, music, audience, and other elements that make up the African movie industry.

Organized by MultiChoice, the AMVCAs is an annual event that recognizes and celebrate excellence in the African movie industry, both in front and behind the cameras.

The 2022 edition was also an upgrade of the awards categories. For the first time, the AMVCAs was extended to digital content creators and young African movie talents from the renowned MultiChoice Talent Factory. It also featured a meet of Hollywood and Nollywood in Nigeria, as top American actors and producers were physically part of the week-long celebration in Lagos.

Recently, CNN’s Africa Avant Garde recognized the AMVCA as one of Africa’s biggest award shows. The special Avant Garde edition focused on the eight-day chain of activities marking the 8th AMVCAs.
