Nu Metro Theatres will host an exclusive double-bill
Nollywood Film Festival at its Brightwater Commons cinemas in
Randburg from the 6 to 20 July. Nigeria is the world’s 3rd largest
producer of movies and this is the first time that such a festival
will be hosted by a national cinema chain in South Africa.
“Nigerian movies are in huge demand as a source of entertainment
by many consumers and represent a growth market in South Africa,”
says Nu Metro’s National Marketing Manager, Donna Cooper. “Tickets
will be R25 each and will allow moviegoers to sample Nollywood
double-features every day over the three-week period.”
Cooper adds “The movies we will feature in the festival will be
in the light-hearted and romantic comedy genres, appealing to both
established Nollywood fans and cinema-goers who want to sample
something new in the South African marketplace.”
Films will be shown at 14h00 and 18h00 daily.
