AFRIFF crowns its winners with ‘All The Colours Of The World Are Between Black And White’ leading the pack.
The African International Film Festival 2023 takes a bow with the closing Globe Awards ceremony.
Kicking off on November 5, 2023, with the opening screening of Orah, the film festival ran the course of another five days, with several movie screenings and panel discussions.
The festival also had an interesting inclusion of a seven-man jury which included Nigerian film veterans like Desmon Elliot, Kate Henshaw and Stephen ‘Dr.’ Love who led the team.
The Globe Awards night held in Lagos, Nigeria, served as the official closing for the festival’s 12th edition, with the sole aim to announce the winners of various categories that have competed in the past couple of weeks.
Here is the full list of 2023 AFRIFF winners:
