Also its 7th edition, the 2017 Lights Camera Africa!!! Festival aims to bring to its audiences, a reflective presentation of films that it hopes will support a common contemplation on opportunities for a "reset' of the weakening world order.
"We hope you are as excited as we are about bringing the people of Lagos a wonderful screening programme dedicated to the best of independent and African film as well as our family and industry-engaging offerings through discussions, talks and family-friendly programming," Ugoma Adegoke, the festival's director said.
This year’s programme hopes to demonstrate the festival’s commitment to its mission of exposing African and global audiences to good quality independent African cinema, with a view to stimulating discourse on issues and experiences rooted in the African experience.
