Nigeria is consolidating itself as a true cultural superpower, with one of the most prolific film industries in the world. Its cinema, led by Nollywood — the second largest global industry after Bollywood — produces more than 1,000 titles a year and continues to gain international recognition, both at festivals and on platforms like Netflix.

The activity is co-financed at 85% by ERDF funds within the COMPASS project (1/MAC/4/7.2/0018) under the INTERREG VI D MAC 2021-2027 initiative.
