The Nigerian film industry, Nollywood, has been
growing in leaps and bounds over the last few years and this year has started
on a very good note as our very own young Director/cinematographer.
Nodash
(a.k.a Adejuyigbe Adekunle) was recently honored by the international film
community with the invitation to the annual Berlinale Talent Campus organized
by the largest publicly attended film festival in the world, the Berlin
International Film festival in Germany.
The Berlinale Talent Campus is an annual event
that takes place in Germany where just 300 emerging filmmakers from all over
the world are shortlisted to attend a series of training and networking events
with some of the best filmmakers in the world.
Nodash was also selected as one of the only 21
cinematographers from all over the world shortlisted to take part in a special,
exclusive, strictly-by-invitation cinematography master class.
Nodash belongs to the new school of Nigerian
filmmakers who seem to be determined to make movies that are at par with their
international contemporaries. And this achievement is proof that that dream is
already a reality.
Generally regarded as Nigeria’s most unusual
director because of his consistent unusual approach to storytelling Nodash
usually shoots tv commercials, documentaries, high budget movies, and sometimes
music videos. His body of work includes movies like Shuga, Journey To Self, and
several tv commercials and documentaries for big brands like telecommunication
companies, oil companies and the American department of state.
