Podcasts about Nollywood

For this episode, I talk about my lifelong fascination with the art of movies. From the Nollywood movies that sparked my interest to the new ones that I still love now. Even though the joy I once felt has shifted, my admiration for the intricate artistry behind every film remains strong. From the compelling performances of actors to the genius of editors, sound designers, and lighting experts, I appreciate how their efforts come together to create magic. What about you? What is the best movie you've ever seen, and what made it unforgettable? Share with me in the comments or on Twitter via @queenraffysacepodcast

Courtroom battles are reshaping the film industry in ways that affect everyone from A-list stars to streaming subscribers. When Scarlett Johansson sued Disney over Black Widow's simultaneous streaming release, she wasn't just fighting for her paycheck—she was challenging how talent gets compensated in the digital age. The resulting alleged $40 million settlement forced studios everywhere to rewrite contracts with streaming contingencies.Meanwhile, across the globe, Nigerian filmmaker Femi Adebayo made history with a judgment against digital pirates who cleverly misused his film's promotional materials. His three-year legal fight established crucial precedent for Nollywood creators and signaled that copyright protection extends beyond Hollywood's borders.Technology continues to create fascinating legal disruptions. When Quentin Tarantino announced plans to auction Pulp Fiction NFTs, Miramax quickly filed suit, arguing his 1993 contract never contemplated blockchain tokens. Though they settled privately, the dispute highlighted how decades-old agreements struggle to address technologies that didn't exist when the ink dried.The most provocative developments involve artificial intelligence. Buenos Aires prosecutors are challenging their own government for failing to regulate AI systems that clone faces and voices without consent, framing digital identity as a constitutional right. Simultaneously, Chinese courts ruled that images created with AI tools can receive copyright protection—but only when significant human creativity guides the process.From Japanese courts imposing record penalties against "fast movie" channels that condense films into unauthorized summaries to European judges limiting what information YouTube must share about copyright infringers, these cases collectively demonstrate that intellectual property law isn't just legal background noise—it's the script determining who controls the stories we love.Whether you're creating content, distributing it, or simply enjoying it as a fan, understanding these shifting legal frameworks provides a fascinating new lens through which to view your favorite films.

Da Nigeria løsrev sig fra Storbritannien i 1960, blev landets første film produceret på celluloid, siden er landets filmproduktion eksploderet - og Nollywood - som Nigeria også kærligt kaldes i filmkredse er en vigtig spiller i den afrikanske filmindustri, og faktisk verdens andenstørste filmproducent målt på antallet af film. Vi ser på hvilken rolle film spiller i Nigeria med lektor ved Center for Afrikastudier på KU Karen Lauterbach. Vært: Morten Runge. Producer: Louise Reumert. Redaktør: Lasse Lauridsen.

La Nollywood Week, festival de cinéma consacré aux films nigérians, se poursuit à Paris jusqu'à sa journée de clôture, ce dimanche 11 mai. L'industrie prolifique du cinéma au Nigeria donne lieu à plusieurs festivals à travers le monde, et le public de ce cinéma populaire ne cesse de croître. La production nigériane compte de nombreuses femmes parmi ses productrices et réalisatrices, et ce n'est pas un hasard si la réalisatrice et actrice Aïssa Maïga a été choisie comme marraine de cette édition. Elle place en effet au cœur de ses engagements la condition des femmes ainsi que la lutte contre la corruption. Un signal fort, que la Nollywood Week met en avant pour cette édition.   « Le travail de la police, ce n'est pas ça. Mais il y a de la mauvaise graine dans toutes les professions », répond un chef policier à son subordonné dans La nuit du 7 juin, un film du réalisateur Toka McBaror qui aborde la corruption au sein de la police nigériane, en s'inspirant d'une histoire vraie. Au cœur de la programmation : retour au matriarcatOutre la corruption, la révolte contre le pouvoir masculin et les traditions, ainsi que le retour au matriarcat, sont au cœur de la programmation de cette nouvelle édition de la Nollywood Week à Paris. On y trouve des rôles particulièrement intéressants pour les femmes, ainsi qu'une parité totale entre réalisateurs et réalisatrices.Bikiya Graham Douglas, productrice et actrice principale du film Pour Amina, explique : « "Pour Amina" parle de responsabilité. On y voit une mère lutter contre un système corrompu pour permettre à sa fille d'accéder à une éducation digne de ce nom. C'est une femme presque illettrée, sans pouvoir, mais qui utilise les médias pour interpeller le gouvernement. Ce récit montre comment responsabiliser les autorités afin de construire une société meilleure. Tout cela à travers la relation mère-fille, avec pour objectif que cette enfant reçoive une bonne éducation ».À lire aussiLe cinéma africain en fête avec la Nollywood Week 2025La Nollywood Week aborde également des sujets plus complexes, comme dans le film Out in the Darkness, réalisé et scénarisé par Sara Kwaji : « Au Nigeria, comme ailleurs dans le monde, la santé mentale des femmes, en particulier la dépression post-partum, est souvent négligée et incomprise. J'ai donc voulu mettre ce sujet en lumière pour combler un vide narratif qui nécessite urgemment davantage de sensibilité et de compassion ».Avec la nouvelle génération, le cinéma de Nollywood connaît de profondes transformations, comme l'explique Thierno Ibrahima Dia, critique de cinéma : « Ce cinéma, autrefois dominé par les genres fantastique et horrifique, tend aujourd'hui à proposer une analyse plus fine de la société nigériane. Le Nigeria est désormais la première économie du continent, devant l'Afrique du Sud, et le cinéma interroge les rapports sociaux dans ce contexte. Nollywood revient ainsi vers un ancrage plus réaliste, loin des stéréotypes de ses débuts ».Industrie encore jeune, née dans les années 2000, Nollywood est aujourd'hui touchée par la crise économique qui frappe le Nigeria.Retrouvez toute la programmation de la Nollywood Week ici.

Summary: E Káàró, friends! Today, Holly and Devin armchair travel to Nigeria. Known for its vibrant culture, diversity, rich artistic heritage and a thriving film industry (Nollywood), this country has so much to explore. With both books set in the bustling city of Lagos, our hosts get to explore the romantic and thrilling aspects of this amazing country.  Topics Discussed: The Heart (3:00): Devin discussed The Sweetest Remedy by Jane Igharo, a novel following Hannah Bailey, successful biracial business woman living in San Francisco, who is invited to her estranged father's funeral - in Lagos, Nigeria. After a brief relationship with her white mother, she never had a connection to her father or his prestigious family, but this opportunity is too good to pass up. Uncovering half siblings, secrets, culture and even a man she never expected, Hannah must come to a new understanding of who she is and where she fits in the world. Devin's key takeaways were: Hannah's experience reflects that of many diaspora children, caught between cultures, feeling not quite “enough” of either. Her journey is tender, frustrating, funny, and deeply affirming and she works to expand her sense of self and identify where she belongs amongst her expanded family.  While you get a great sense of Lagos through the book, the setting of a Nigerian funeral, especially for someone as prominent as Hannah's father, adds an extra layer of authenticity to the story. They're multi-day affairs that are part mourning, part celebration, part family reunion, part “airing of grievances.” Through this event, the book explores Nigerian culture, familial expectations, inheritance (emotional and literal), and reconciliation. The romance is beautifully folded into Hannah's emotional journey. It's not just “hot guy in Nigeria,” Lawrence is a patient and supportive friend first who guides Hannah and helps her navigate the rough waters of her expanding identity. It's romantic, yes, but also rooted in identity and growth. The Dagger (13:50): Holly discussed Gaslight by Femi Kayode, a crime fiction story following Jeremiah Dawodu, the influential leader of a prominent megachurch in Lagos. He's publicly arrested in the middle of a service for the suspected murder of his wife. Despite his skepticism toward organized religion, Philip Taiwo, an investigative psychologist who recently returned to Nigeria from the US, is reluctantly drawn into the case by his sister. Confronting a web of secrets, resistance from the church, and the complexities of Nigerian society, Philip must cut through the noise to uncover the truth. Holly's key takeaways were: The novel examines how religious institutions wield influence and the potential for corruption within such structures.​ The pursuit of truth in a society and institution rife with secrecy and manipulation underscores the narrative, questioning the nature of justice and the power of religion and religious leaders.​ Through the lens of a psychological crime thriller, the novel illuminates both the beauty and contradictions of Nigerian society; it critiques power structures while celebrating resilience, explores how people navigate moral gray zones, and invites readers to see Nigeria in all its complexity: vibrant, chaotic, spiritual, flawed, and deeply human. Taiwo's family's experiences reflect the complexities of cultural identity and the challenges of reintegration after living abroad.​ The personal struggles within Taiwo's family parallel the broader societal issues, emphasizing the interplay between personal and communal conflicts.​ Hot On the Shelf (27:12): Devin: A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske Holly: The Devils by Joe Abercrombie What's Making Our Hearts Race (31:39): Devin: The Americas Documentary with Tom Hanks Holly: Your Friends and Neighbors on AppleTV Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Nollywood – Nigerian cinema – is the world's second-largest film industry in terms of output and has evolved a great deal since emerging in the 1990s. However, it still faces challenges as a relatively young industry, including profitability. One of the international events helping to shine a spotlight on films made in Nigeria and other African countries is the NollywoodWeek Film Festival in Paris. As the twelfth edition gets underway this week, we speak to Serge Noukoué and Nadira Shakur, the event's founders. They tell us how Nollywood filmmakers are now "much more daring" and discuss how the industry is navigating the age of streaming.

Is Babangida a Bad Man?I spoke with one of Nollywood's most critically acclaimed producers—known for hits like Mirror Boy, Last Flight to Abuja, and Badamasi—about Nigerian's former head of state Ibrahim Babangida, and he insists Babangida is a good man.Born in 1985 when IBB took over office, I've long held a grudge against Babangida, the man who annulled Nigeria's most peaceful election, “democratized corruption” and ordered the killing of his best friend. And why own up to his biggest mistakes now? Emelonye says it is his film that forced IBB into reflection and led directly to his apologies and confessions in his new book. From the lips of one of Nollywood's most decorated and fearless directors, I heard stories of friendship, love, and business.We also talk about how he convinced Genevieve to do Mirror Boy movie after Omotola said no, and how Omotola said yes to Last Flight to Abuja the year after.This is one of the very best conversations I have ever had! Watch or listen to the full episode at WithChude.com.Tell me what you think in the comments below. ❤Watch all new and old fill epsidoes here: www.withchude.comBuy ‘How Depression Saved My Life', #TheDailyJoy and #TheDailyVulnerable books here: shop.withchude.comDonate to the work here: partner.withchude.comPlease subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/chude Exclusive Patron-only Content Hosted on Acast.

“Anywhere my ex-husband saw me he would beat me.“He beat me so much, I became an alcoholic - but I couldn't leave because of the shame that people will say I couldn't keep a man.”For the first time on TV, veteran actor Ayo Adesanya - who was so big she was already lead star on Most Wanted, where Genevieve had her first minor role - finally speaks in detail about her abusive relationship that made her leave the industry for a very long time - and how she found the courage and the will to return to the industry and rebuild her career. We also discuss:- How she stayed in this relationship for 10 years - ⁠How Bimbo Akintola and her other colleagues got angry because she couldn't leave this man - ⁠How her ex threatened to pluck out her eyes with a knife - ⁠How he sent her son away to Ibadan at just 1 years old because he was jealous of the attention she was giving her son- ⁠Why her next relationship didn't work out- ⁠Her long, hard journey back to Nollywood  All pain, the shame, the destruction and the recovery. For the first time on TV, #WithChude.Let me know what you think in the comment section. ❤ Exclusive Patron-only Content Hosted on Acast.

In Episode 221: "Opeyemi Famakin vs David Hundeyin and Joey Akan vs The Alté-Right," the guys dive into everything from Yoruba culture to Twitter beefs and Lagos drama. The episode starts with Tmt confessing he wore the same outfit to a wedding on Saturday and a funeral on Sunday. This sparks a deep dive into Yoruba traditional attire, with the guys debating why the classic styles outshine modern interpretations. Mayowa takes us on a journey through the All Saints Church Yaba vs St. Jude's beef, before things heat up with a breakdown of the much-discussed feud between David Hundeyin and Opeyemi Famakin. Tmt recounts his run-ins with the FRSC and the Police, sharing the chaos and humor in his recent encounters. Meanwhile, the guest offers insight into the Nigerian comedy scene and what it's like dating as a comedian in Lagos—leading to a roasting session about Tmt's love life as he dramatically declares, “I'm serious now!” The guys also explore the idea of rebranding Submarine and A Roach as Nigeria's Joe Rogan podcast, which somehow ends with the roasting of Peter Obi and a hilarious reading of a Dele Momodu diss from Twitter. They shift gears to discuss dating Ibadan women, the Trevor Noah joke theft allegations and the eternal debate of marriages vs. being single—with Tmt hilariously coining the term “the punishment for being single is how expensive life is.” The conversation gets spicy with Joey Akan vs the Alté community, as Tmt unveils his concept of the Alté-Right and rallies his imaginary army. The guys unpack why Nigerians root for winners, how the Alté scene scaled despite critics, and whether people are too quick to dismiss the gray areas in debates. From Tech Cabal's coverage of bad news to casting for “Children of Blood and Bone”, Nollywood, custom pillows as Nigerian heritage, and the Mainland vs Island divide, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and plenty of roasting. The guys wrap it all up with a discussion about the fire at Bogobiri, their experiences watching comedy there, and an imaginary world where Dr. Umar becomes the President of the United States. It's unfiltered, chaotic, and absolutely hilarious—everything you expect from Submarine and A Roach! Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.

En Côte d'Ivoire, le pouvoir ne semble pas vouloir donner suite à la demande de l'opposition d'ouvrir un dialogue inclusif sur ce qu'elle appelle les « défaillances » du système électoral. Par ailleurs, le pouvoir laisse aux députés d'opposition la responsabilité de déposer ou non une proposition de loi en faveur de l'amnistie des opposants qui, à l'heure actuelle, ne peuvent pas être candidats à la présidentielle d'octobre 2025. Amadou Coulibaly est ministre de la Communication et porte-parole du gouvernement ivoirien. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. Et tout d'abord, il s'exprime sur la deuxième édition du SICA, le Salon international du contenu audiovisuel, qui s'ouvre demain, mardi 5 novembre, à Abidjan. RFI : En Afrique, l'industrie audiovisuelle est dominée par deux pays anglophones : le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud. Quelle est votre ambition ? Amadou Coulibaly : Notre ambition est de positionner la Côte d'Ivoire, pays francophone, justement, dans cette industrie audiovisuelle et cinématographique. Nous pensons que nous en avons les moyens. Nous avons les infrastructures qu'il faut, nous avons les hommes qu'il faut, nous avons le matériel qu'il faut. Il est important, donc, que la Côte d'Ivoire qui, pendant longtemps, a été la plaque tournante de la musique au niveau du continent, puisse occuper également cette place au niveau du cinéma et de l'audiovisuel. Telle est notre ambition donc.Alors concrètement, le SICA, le salon qui s'ouvre mardi 5 novembre va réunir quelque 250 professionnels.Oui.Donnez-nous un peu leur profil ? Qu'est-ce que vous attendez d'eux ? Ce salon va réunir aussi bien des producteurs, des réalisateurs que des acteurs et des acheteurs. Nous voulons constituer un marché qui va permettre justement de pouvoir échanger des marchandises entre réalisateurs, producteurs et différents acheteurs. Nous avons pratiquement une trentaine de chaînes de télé qui seront présentes, aussi bien des chaînes africaines que des chaînes européennes ou américaines, comme Natyf TV du Canada et TV5 Monde, Canal+. On aura aussi des speakers. Nous aurons Alex Berger, producteur de la série à succès Le bureau des légendes. Nous aurons aussi un producteur turc qui vient, Isef, qui va nous partager son expérience. Donc, c'est quasiment le monde qui se retrouve. Nous avons plus d'une vingtaine de nationalités qui seront présentes donc en Côte d'Ivoire à l'occasion de ce SICA. Au Nigeria, le succès de Nollywood, c'est-à-dire du cinéma local, doit beaucoup aux aides de l'État. Par exemple, en 2010, le président Goodluck Jonathan a lancé un fonds d'intervention de quelque 200 millions de dollars avec l'aide de deux banques nigérianes. Qu'est-ce que peut faire l'État ivoirien pour ses producteurs, pour ses réalisateurs ? L'État a déjà pris des initiatives, il s'agit maintenant d'augmenter ces initiatives de l'État. Au niveau du cinéma par exemple, il y a le Fonsic, qui est le Fonds de soutien à l'industrie cinématographique. Au niveau de l'audiovisuel, il y a les compétences de l'ASDM, qui est l'Agence de soutien au développement des médias, qui a été élargie pour prendre en compte la production audiovisuelle. Justement, l'ambition du SICA, c'est de faire participer le privé. Vous faites bien de souligner qu'au Nigeria, c'est avec l'aide de deux banques privées que l'État a pu décupler son soutien à l'industrie cinématographique. Donc, nous voulons faire connaître cet écosystème au secteur privé, notamment aux banques, assurances et autres sociétés privées, afin qu'elles viennent soutenir l'État dans cette initiative. D'ailleurs, nous aurons deux panels sur les financements : un panel avec les financements publics et des acteurs publics comme le Fonsic, l'ASDM et la BNI, qui est une banque publique, et un autre panel exclusivement réservé aux banques privées, panel qui sera animé par un avocat d'affaires. Selon un récent rapport de l'Unesco, le secteur de l'audiovisuel et du cinéma représente déjà en Afrique quelque 5 millions d'emplois. Quelle est votre ambition ? Il faut que la Côte d'Ivoire puisse faire du cinéma un secteur qui soit véritablement pourvoyeur d'emplois et créateur de richesse. Les quelques indications que nous avons au niveau du pays indiquent que ce secteur contribue à environ 3% au PIB. Nous avons l'ambition de faire augmenter cette contribution au PIB. Et au moment où le chef de l'État a décrété donc une année de la jeunesse, nous pensons que le cinéma peut également apporter sa contribution en termes de création d'emplois pour les jeunes. Donc le cinéma et l'audiovisuel ont leur place et nous ambitionnons donc de l'occuper pleinement. Mais ne faut-il pas pour cela qu'il y ait des narratifs africains qui intéressant les producteurs internationaux ? Vous êtes là en plein cœur d'une des raisons pour lesquelles nous organisons ce SICA. Oui, l'Afrique a un narratif à proposer au monde et les échanges que vont faciliter le SICA vont permettre à l'Afrique de proposer ce narratif. Mais nous restons ouverts. C'est pourquoi nous parlons d'échange. En termes d'échange, nous avons par exemple une coproduction africaine et européenne qui est aujourd'hui sur une plateforme. Et je veux parler de Bienvenue au Gondwana, tourné en Côte d'Ivoire et en France avec des acteurs français, des acteurs ivoiriens et des producteurs français, je parle des frères Altmayer. Donc, vous voyez, il y a une collaboration qui est possible et le SICA veut être la plateforme qui ouvre cette collaboration, qui tient compte du narratif africain. Amadou Coulibaly, vous voulez aussi que la Côte d'Ivoire devienne un lieu de tournage incontournable. Mais vous savez bien que, quand un producteur cherche un pays pour tourner, la première question qu'il se pose, c'est combien ça coûte ? Alors s'il vient chez vous, est-ce qu'il va devoir payer des droits de douane et des taxes ?Déjà, ce qu'il faut savoir, c'est qu'avec la politique mise en place par le président de la République, l'investissement en Côte d'Ivoire est très incitatif. Il y a des dispositions qui ont été prises pour rendre attractif le pays. Mais je suis d'accord avec vous que le secteur de l'audiovisuel reste un secteur particulier et nous sommes en train de travailler de façon à mettre en place un dispositif qui soit adapté à ce secteur-là, de sorte à pouvoir exonérer tous ceux qui sont intéressés à venir tourner en Côte d'Ivoire. Donc, exonérés de certains frais. Nous y travaillons et très bientôt, nous ferons une proposition au gouvernement pour que notre pays soit encore plus attractif du point de vue du cinéma et de l'audiovisuel.Tout à fait autre chose, monsieur le ministre. Le 21 septembre, 15 partis politiques de l'opposition, dont le PDCI de Tidjane Thiam, ont écrit au gouvernement pour lui demander d'ouvrir un dialogue inclusif afin de « corriger les défaillances du système électoral ». Qu'est-ce que vous répondez ? Je voudrais rappeler que nous avons eu une dernière phase du dialogue politique qui a été ouvert de décembre 2021 à mars 2022. Au cours de cette phase, l'un des premiers points qui a rencontré l'adhésion de toutes les parties, ça a été de dire que, aujourd'hui dans notre pays, les institutions sont toutes installées et fonctionnent normalement. Il a été convenu que toutes les questions relevant du fonctionnement de certaines institutions leur soient adressées. Nous sommes aujourd'hui un État véritablement démocratique, nous sommes un État de droit. Je peux comprendre que, à une certaine époque, on s'en référait au tout-puissant président de la République, mais aujourd'hui les institutions fonctionnent. Donc, moi, j'inviterai l'opposition, pour certaines de leurs préoccupations, à s'adresser aux institutions qui en ont la charge, et, relativement à cette question, je pense que l'opposition peut s'adresser à la Commission électorale indépendante. L'opposition affirme que dans sa composition, la CEI, la Commission électorale indépendante, n'est ni équilibrée ni impartiale. Est-ce que vous seriez prêt à envisager une réforme de cette CEI ? Je rappelle, en citant ce dernier dialogue politique, que c'est à l'issue de celui-ci que le PPA-CI [de Laurent Gbagbo] a intégré la Commission électorale indépendante. C'est donc dire que tout peut se régler au niveau de la Commission électorale indépendante. Mais je pense qu'il n'est pas juste de prétendre que cette Commission n'est pas équilibrée. Au contraire, l'opposition y est majoritaire, puisqu'ils ont cinq représentants et la société civile en a six, dont deux du barreau et un de la magistrature. Évidemment, elle a beau jeu de dire que le représentant du chef de l'État ou du ministère de l'Intérieur sont proches du pouvoir, mais je rappelle que, lorsque Laurent Gbagbo était au pouvoir, il avait un représentant aussi bien de la présidence et un représentant du ministère de l'Intérieur. Ce sont des dispositions qui existaient bien avant que le RHDP n'arrive au pouvoir. Vendredi dernier, sur RFI et France 24, vous avez pu entendre l'opposant Charles Blé Goudé qui lançait un appel au président Ouattara pour qu'il fasse passer une loi sur l'amnistie afin que lui-même puisse être candidat l'an prochain. Pensez-vous que cela est envisageable ? Une fois de plus, je le répète, nous sommes un État de droit où toutes les institutions sont installées ou fonctionnent. Je suis toujours surpris qu'aujourd'hui, on veuille toujours en revenir au chef de l'État, alors qu'il y a des institutions qui fonctionnent. L'Assemblée nationale est le lieu où on peut faire également des propositions de loi. Il me semble que l'opposition est très bien représentée à l'Assemblée nationale. Elle pourra bien sûr introduire une proposition de loi à ce niveau, parce que les lois que le chef de l'État peut prendre sont encadrées aujourd'hui. Et est-ce que le RHDP au pouvoir serait prêt à voter une telle proposition de loi ? Mais il faut que déjà elle arrive sur la table de l'Assemblée. Et après ? Et après, le jeu démocratique va s'imposer et puis il appartiendra aux députés, qui sont les députés de la nation, une fois qu'ils ont voté, de juger de l'opportunité d'adopter cette loi ou pas. 

Der bliver slået endnu et søm i kisten for fremmedsprogsundervisning på universiteterne, hvis Aarhus Universitet lukker arabisk, kinesisk og russisk, som foreslået. Hvad nedprioriteringen af fremmedsprog på universiteterne kan betyde for fremtidens sprogkyndige, skønlitteraturen og måske endda vores menneskelige erkendelse, kigger vi nærmere på. Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood - og nu måske Zallywood. Den engelske stjerneskuespiller Idris Elba har fået grønt lys af Zanzibars parlament til at bygge en 80 hektar stor filmby på øen. Vi dykker ned i Elbas drømme om at forandre Afrikas underholdningsindustri, og hvad det er for et Afrika, der mangler repræsentation på det store lærred. Værter: Karen Secher og Tony Scott.

Cinéma, séries, musique, artisanat, mode, .... La créativité du continent africain n'est plus à démontrer. Elle pourrait aussi devenir un secteur-clé pour le développement et la création d'emplois. Nollywood, l'industrie cinématographique nigériane, est sans doute l'exemple le plus parlant du potentiel économique des industries créatives et culturelles africaines. Pour multiplier les «Nollywood» africains, la route est encore longue pour les PME. Écosystèmes balbutiants, investisseurs frileux devant le manque de chiffres sur les secteurs, manque de compétences, financements publics faibles... Les enjeux sont nombreux pour que les PME de la création puissent exprimer tout leur potentiel. Selon le groupe de réflexion, G20 Insights, les industries culturelles et créatives, ne représentent que 1% du PIB à l'échelle du continent. Comment accélérer leur développement ? Quels sont les secteurs les plus porteurs et comment convaincre décideurs publics et investisseurs de l'apport de la créativité à la croissance ?   Émission délocalisée à l'occasion de l'Africa SME champions forum qui se déroule du 10 au 11 octobre 2024 à Abidjan.  Avec :• Didier Acouetey, président du Cabinet AfricSearch, organisateur de l'Africa SME champions forum qui se déroule du 10 au 11 octobre 2024 à Abidjan     • Fabrice Sawegnon, publicitaire, entrepreneur et directeur général de Voodoo Group, Groupe de communication d'Afrique de l'Ouest francophone.
