Organisers of the Abuja International Film Festival (AIFF) have announced the official selections for the 19th Edition of the Film Festival scheduled to kick off on Monday October 31.

The film festival will run till November 3, 2022, at the Silverbird Cinemas Abuja, and two other centers in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
AIFF, which is the longest-running film festival in Anglophone West-Africa, received a total of 1,771 films from 87 countries, while about 91 films and filmmakers respectively made the Final Selection for the 2022 edition of the festival.
According to Millicent Bassey, the Festival Communication Officer, the festival theme for the 19th edition is The Digital Revolution – Harnessing the Potentials in Online Streaming and Downloads of Contents.
Bassey also noted that the theme is apt because it reveals the opportunities and challenges inherent in the global digital film arena in which Nigeria is a major player.
The Festival Director, Temitope Duker, who spoke on activities lined up for the festival said aside from screenings, master classes, panel discussions and parties, honors will go to deserving films and filmmakers at the grand event of the closing night.
Also listed for this year’s festival is a short film competition for young and aspiring filmmakers on hygiene, sponsored by HYPO bleach.
