Inviting Independent Film Enthusiasts to ArtHouse Roundtable



In recent years, several small-scale initiatives have emerged in Lagos to promote the screening of independent, international arthouse films. Obviously, this is a response to the lack of programming space for such films in existing cinema halls.

Goethe-Institut Nigeria (in collaboration with Lagos Film Society) is inviting interested persons who are active in the promotion of independent films in Lagos to a roundtable discussion where ideas and experiences will be shared and possibly new formats developed towards improving access to arthouse cinema in Lagos. Interested persons should send a small presentation of their initiative/project to derin.ajao@lagos.goethe.org.

Date: Wednesday 22nd April 2015

Venue: Goethe-Institut Nigeria

Time: 3PM

FREE ENTRY!
