Time to head to Jo’bourg for 7^TH DISCOP AFRICA

Basic Lead, the Los Angeles-based organizers of the annual DISCOP AFRICA television content market and coproduction forum, announced during the week that over 1000 non-exhibiting and exhibiting delegates representing 700 companies from 85 countries are expected to take part in Africa's biggest industry gathering dedicated to the production, programming and distribution of multiplatform, television content. In its seventh edition, DISCOP AFRICA will take place from 31 October to 2 November at the prestigious Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg and will feature an exhibition showcasing African and major international suppliers of popular and high-quality film, series, animation, comedy shows, formats, sports content, documentaries, educational programming and thematic channels, as well as distributors of international digital broadcasting and content management solutions providers. The 3-day market will welcome content acquisitions and programming executives representing African broadcasters, Pay-TV platforms, mobile networks, broadband-based TV services, airlines and closed-circuit networks. Over 1000 participants across the continent and the world including over 200 content providers and programmers from Nigeria amongst them the actor Emeka Ossai of Golden Pyramids Proudctions, Amaka Igwe of Amaka Igwe Studios, Chief Steve Ojo of Galaxy Television, Chief Wale Adenuga of WAPTV and Greg Odutayo of Royal Roots Productions and over 100 South African Companies including SABC, ETV, TOP TV, M-NET, MULTICHOICE AFRICA, NFVF, and OCTAGON are expected to attend the content fair. This edition of DISCOP in South Africa will also reinforce DISCOP AFRICA's relevance as a marketplace for independent television content producers operating in Africa. A coproduction forum and an eclectic conference program dedicated to regional and international partnerships will provide them with true and efficient opportunities to sell content, initiate partnerships, access valuable information, connect with key players and learn from experts. "In the not so distant future, one of the main drivers of content business in Africa will be local programming. Inevitably, there will be a shift to regional coproduction and distribution models as non-African content will play a lesser role," says Patrick JUCAUD-ZUCHOWICKI, General Manager of Basic Lead. He added "Independent television content production is already undergoing a huge renaissance as Africa is transitioning from massive importer of content to producer of content that is far more locally relevant, outpacing in the process the traditional production formulas that the rest of the world falls back on so much". A new pitching competition, FORMATS FROM AFRICA, will also be launched during DISCOP AFRICA 2012, to promote original TV formats created in Africa, which can begin as local successes and end up as international hits. Independent TV Formats producers taking part in DISCOP AFRICA 2012 will be offered the possibility to forward original submissions that have local, regional and international appeal. Ten shortlisted candidates will be invited to pitch their formats live in front of a judging panel of international programming executives and format commissioners. Three winners will be offered funds and expert guidance to develop a pilot. In partnership with Gauteng Conventions and Events Bureau, special efforts will also be deployed to attract South, North American and European television content acquisitions executives interested in the increasing range of good quality content and formats created in Africa. This initiative is driven by recent TV consumption trends, which indicate that a growing number of television operators around the world are acquiring programming "Made in Africa". Nonnie KUBEKA, Marketing Manager at Gauteng Conventions and Events Bureau added, "We are very pleased to support DISCOP AFRICA in encouraging international TV content buyers to seek out African programming for their own networks. Our mission is to cultivate and facilitate an environment that allows Africa's film and television industries to play a meaningful role in the socio-economic development of the Gauteng region". Global companies expected to exhibit at the 3-day event include BBC Worldwide, CCTV, Caracol, Canal+ Overseas, Cote Ouest, Zee TV, Fox International Channels, Sony Pictures Television, NBC Universal, France 24, Globo TV, IMC, IMG, MGM Networks, Mondo TV, Nollywood Worldwide Entertainment, Optima Sports, Telemundo, Televisa, Thema, Trend TV, Fox Studios, Sky News, TV Azteca, TV5 Monde, UFA TV, Venevision, Endemol South-Africa and many others.

For Nigerian filmmakers attending Berlinale, Mama J Restaurant as the melting point

Nigerian filmmakers and film journalists who attended the 65th edition of the Berlin International Film Festival have confessed that they didn’t miss home at all since they arrived Berlin, Germany, ten days ago. They said they have found the popular Mama J Restaurant located in the heart of Berlin as the proper ‘home away from home’. So when it is time for lunch or dinner, all roads would lead to the former Nigerian house in Berlin where Mama J restaurant currently sits. ‘We not only eat good food there but we found the place a melting point for Nigerians in Berlin’’ said Eric Ugondu, a filmmaker about the restaurant that is run by the very likeable, personable, humble and caring Edo state native Joy Osaze. Popularly called Mama J, with the ‘J’ derived from the name of her first daughter, Joy, Mama J is easily the most popular Nigerian restaurateur in Berlin Germany. Pretty with brains to engage anyone in a debate on any subject, Mama J started out her restaurant business from a small location on Schienkenstrasse, Berlin, in 2002. With demands and pressure from Africans who desired ‘home cooking’, Mama J moved to a more spacious outlet located on Donaldstrasse in 2005. Same year she opened another spot at Moritzplatz. But In 2013, the restaurants had to be merged with the one at Donaldstrasse joining that of Moritzplatz. So from just an outlet in 2002, Mama J’s Restaurant has grown to become the largest restaurant owned by an African and a Nigerian in Berlin. The Berlin International Film festival ends tomorrow and the filmmakers attending the festival say they will take their own closing party to Mama J’s place.

With Dayo Ogunyemi, it’s a new wine in a new bottle at the AMAA’s

When the founder and Chief Executive officer of the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) Peace Anyiam-Osigwe announced at the 10th edition of the awards, which held last year in Yenegoa, Bayelsa State that she was quitting her position as Chief Executive officer to concentrate fully on advancing the cause of filmmaking in the continent through her Africa Film Academy (AFA), most observers thought that it was just a political statement. After all they argued that she has always said that she will ‘quit as CEO’ but each year she returns as the pivot of the premier film award, which is also regarded as Africa’s answer to the Oscars. But a press statement issued last week and signed by the consulting Head of Media for the AMAA’s Tope Ajayi has indeed confirmed that the baton has changed hands at the AMAA’s. Although Peace Anyim- Osigwe will continue to function as President of the AFA and AMAA, the task of running the AMAA’s going forward is now the responsibility of renowned entertainment law and finance expert Dayo Ogunyemi. A long standing member of the Governing Board of AFA and a film law expert for the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), Ogunyemi has spent the past two decades at the confluence of entertainment, media and technology with employment experience with Booz Allen& Hamilton's media and technology practice, Sony Music Entertainment Inc., and BMG. The new AMAA CEO has in the past decade, focused on the finance, media and technology landscapes in Africa, garnering experience in principal investing, consulting, financial advisory and capital raising. A Beta Gamma Sigma graduate of Columbia Business School, who holds a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School and an SB from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ogunyemi, who is also admitted to practice law in New York, has served as one of the principal advisers to the Nigerian film industry on finance, distribution and intellectual property, including negotiating key licensing and distribution agreements. He has also formulated policy, advising the UN ECA and more than 7 African governments and regional economic communities (including the EAC and ECOWAS) on intellectual property, telecommunications, technology, e-commerce and finance. Ogunyemi’s immediate plans as CEO as he disclosed will include evolving AMAA into an even more inclusive reward and recognition platform for African filmmaking – whether in the continent or the African Diaspora. He also plans to strengthen AFA’s institutional structure so as to make it more proactive and responsive. But importantly, Ogunyemi needs to and urgently so, amplify the AMAA’s reach – both in terms of audience and value to winners, nominees and the filmmaking community. Also, Ogunyemi needs to build a team that will work hard at raising the bar in production value for the actual AMAA ceremony and other events.

A group, Nigeria League of Creative Artistes (NLCA), has endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2015 presidential election. A statement issued Lagos by the Chairman of the group Prince Lekan Banjo said the endorsement of Jonathan was based on his achievements in office since 2011. Banjo remarked that the group aligns with the president’s transformation agenda and the successes recorded so far.

National Honours Award To Teco,Peace,Others... Excites Nigerian Film Corporation

The Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC) is excited about the Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) award to two Nigerian motion picture practitioners by the President and Commander-in-Chief, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GCFR). They are Teco Benson and Peace Anyiam-Osigwe. Reacting to a release on Monday September 10, 2012 by the Federal Government, the NFC was elated that Senators Ayogu Eze and Zainab Kure who bagged the Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON), and Ambassador S.O. Willoughby, Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON), respectively, made the list. In a statement, Afolabi Adesanya, Managing Director/Chief Executive of the apex film agency, the NFC, said, ‘’again the industry is being recognised for her tremendous contributions to the development of the Creative Arts economy of Nigeria’’. The motion picture industry, he said, has also boosted the profile of Nigeria within the comity of nations, describing the recognition as not only apt, but encouraging. Teco Benson and Peace Anyiam-Osigwe bagged the Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) award. The Nigerian Film Corporation, and indeed Nigeria’s motion picture professionals, Adesanya further said, are challenged by these recognitions, for according to him, “it takes contributions of both the private sector and government to ensure sustainable growth within the film sector”. Teco Benson, an actor, producer and director launched into movie making in 1994. To his credit include, Suicide Mission, Scores to Settle, State of Emergency, Mission to Nowhere, The Senator and many more. Peace Anyiam- Osigwe, known as Industry Energizer, has been promoting the Nigerian and by extension the African Cinema through her pet projects, Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) and African Film Academy (AFA). To her credit include; Blind Date, Sons of Thunder, Messenger of Doom, and The Preachers Daughter and Laviva. Ayogu Eze (CON), a Senator of the Federal Republic since 1999, was a one time Special Adviser and later, Special Assistant to the Governor of Enugu State. He was Commissioner of Information, Enugu State. He has also served on the Senate Committees on Police Affairs, National Planning, Federal Character & Inter-Government Affairs and later as Chairman, Senate Committee on Information. Senator Zainab Kure (CON) was the former First Lady of Niger State.(1999-2007). During her tenure she brought succour and comfort to the youths and women of Niger State through her pet project- the Youth Empowerment Scheme (YES). The YES project elevated the economic status of youths and women of Niger State, including vulnerable children who needed attention and empowerment. At the National Assembly, her sustained support for legislations on economic empowerment and poverty alleviation programmes is second to none. Senator Kure’s impact is already being felt within the Nigerian motion picture sector with her membership of the Senate Committee on Information. Senators Eze and Kure, as members of the Senate Committee on Information, have leveraged their positions to provide invaluable support for the continual growth of the Nigerian motion picture sector. Ambassador S.O. Willoughby’s (OON) input, as Deputy Chief Executive Officer, NEPAD, towards the development of Nigeria’s roads, telecommunications and trans-border cooperation’s among African countries is worthy of note. The Nigerian motion picture industry, no doubt benefitted immensely from Ambassador Willoughby wealth of experience during his tenure as the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Information.

Cinema debut for Heroes and Zeroes

Five days after its cinema release, one of the biggest movies of the year, Heroes and Zeros started off on a tremendous note by making huge sales in its first five days at the cinemas. Reports monitored by Bigsam media, the movies publicist, indicate that the movie might have sold about 4 million Naira in the first four days. It was also gathered that the movie which casts star actors like Nadia Buari, Bimbo Manuel, Nobert Young, Funso Adeolu may be gunning for a blockbuster as word of mouth adverts and good publicity has increased the turn out by the day. As it is, more movie enthusiast have been trooping to the cinemas to catch a glimpse of the emotive movie.. Heroes and Zeros is directed by award winning motion picture director Niji Akanni and it features a mixture of veterans and green horns like Bimbo Manuel, Nadia Buari, Gabriel Afolayan, Olu Jacobs, Norbert Young, Tina Mba, Akin Lewis, Funsho Adeolu and Chervel Bridgette.

Bimbo Akintola speaks of her involvement in Hoodrush

The delectable and talented Bimbo Akintola has come out to expressly talk about her role in the yet-to-be-premiered musical flick, Hoodrush. Hoodrush is a musical movie, which tells the story of two brothers, Shez (O.C Ukeje) and Tavier (Gabriel Afolayan), the struggles they face and surmount before they rose to prominence. The movie features Bimbo Akintola, O.C Ukeje, Gabriel Afolayan, Bolanle Ninalowo, Ifeoma Agu, Lee Lee Byoma and others. The movie is directed and produced by Dimeji Ajibola, the Technical Director at Flipsyde Studios. Bimbo Akintola is not a stranger to acting and Nollywood as a whole, the talented actress came into public consciousness after starring in Owo Blow, Out of Bounds where she starred alongside prolific actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo and The Mourning After, a movie that sheds light on the pains of widowhood. ‘’For those of you who haven’t heard me sing before, you will see a bit of that in Hoodrush’ Bimbo said. Speaking more on the movie, Hoodrush, the amiable actress said ‘’it was great working with Dimeji, the producer of Hoodrush because he is the kind of producer that listens and when you listen to people you work with, you will go places, I am saying this because I have come across many producers who are not good at what they do, they just assume everything would sort itself out as soon as they get on set and things are not done that way. There are some that send you scripts and you can’t even read the first page, I have about 15 scripts like that in my apartment, this is so because the producers weren’t professional enough in the way they do things’’.

ON POINT!

Award winning filmmaker wants someone to urgently intervene in the current rip off in the movie distribution business or he will 'quit' making films. Afolayan, producer and director of three of the industry's jubilee hits -Irapada, Figurine and Phone Swap is crossed that he has to part with 65 percent of whatever he earns in the cinema to cinema owners and then from his 35 percent he has to part with another 20 percent to government as tax and then 10 percent to the distributor. So na wetin come remain for the filmmaker? Afolayan feels that until the sharing formula is redressed in favour of the filmmaker, they would just be working like elephants and eating as ants!
