We got a chance to see this exhibit when we stayed at the fabulous 21C Museum Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky and thanks to BC, I was reminded to post this as well. Read more about this amazing series titled, “Nollywood and The Hyena & Other Men” Nollywood is said to be the third largest film industry in the world, releasing onto the home video market approximately 1 000 movies each year. Such abundance is possible since films are realized in conditions that would make most of the western independent directors cringe. Movies are produced and marketed in the space of a week: low cost equipment, very basic scripts, actors cast the day of the shooting, “real life” locations. Despite the improvised production process, they continue to fascinate audiences.
