'Asma Iyawo Mi Ni' Closes Abuja Film Festival Screenings, Awards Followed

The 23rd Abuja International Film Festival (AIFF) wrapped up its public screenings on Saturday at Silverbird Cinemas CBD in Abuja, and guess which film led the charge? None other than the Nigerian feature, 'Asma Iyawo Mi Ni', which closed the programme at 6 pm.

Talk about repping Naija! The festival's awards ceremony was scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at the Banquet Hall of the National Merit House in Maitama, Abuja. Earlier, the festival's final day of screenings featured a packed lineup. Hall 1 started its Saturday programme early, like 9 am early, with 'City of Secrets', a whole 182-minute Nigerian television and web production. After that, we saw short films from Zimbabwe and Cameroon, then an American feature called 'Shatta' that ran for 97 minutes. Omo, the variety was something else!
