I've been hoping to get the chance to see the Jeta Amata-directed Nigerian musical Inale for quite some time now. I believe it's been screening around the world since 2010, but it's only just now making its way to Johannesburg, South Africa for a special screening on July 26. From what I've been able to gather, the film will be screened at Jo-Burg's Ster-kinekor Cinemas; first for an exclusive audience on July 26, and then opening for general audiences on July 27. Inale features a very impressive cast, including Caroline Chikezie (Footballers Wives, Torchwood), Hakeem Kae-Kazim (24, Last Flight To Abuja), and Nollywood superstar Ini Edo. Here's...

Over the weekend, as most of us were reveling in Academy Awards thrills and chills, the nominations for another major movie award ceremony were announced, many miles, across the Atlantic Ocean; I’m referring to the 7-year old (this year) Africa Movie Academy Awards (Amaa), which will be held in Yenegoa, Bayelsa State (Nigeria) on Saturday, March 26, 2011.
This year’s nominations list boasts an even longer list of awards, compared to previous years, as the award ceremony continues to grow.
I’ll have to thoroughly scrub this list to highlight as many titles as I can – especially in the feature film categories, and I’ll do that with individual posts over the next week, or so.

There’s been a lot of talk about Hollywood & Bollywood jumping into bed together in recent year; maybe with the news below, we’ll soon start to see more Hollywood/Nollywood collabs?
Jeta Amata, nephew of veteran Nollywood actor/director Fred Amata have teamed to produce a film that features an international cast of characters, both in front and behind the camera, and that takes place in countries on 2 continents (guess which 2?).
The “epic” film, titled, Black Gold, was directed by nephew Jeta, and produced by uncle Fred, and is described as “a powerful story of greed, murder and corruption in the murky waters of the volatile oil rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria… Environmental justice and the fight over the control of the scarce oil resources that the world runs on… The line between good and evil is blurred as corrupt government officials, greedy oil companies and violent rebels...
