A lot other top African movies were screened at the Africa International Film Festival, in Tinapa, River State, Nigeria, as well as workshops and seminars.

Ghana’s actress Lydia Forson gave a talk about acting at one of the seminars. There were also acting classes and a number of parties as part of the festival.

Lydia comments: “So far the experience has been good. Although I feel like am representing the all Ghanaians because am the only Ghanaian here.

We’ve watched some good movies, done a lot of networking and catching up with all colleagues. That’s the point of film festivals.

But my highlight so far has been addressing the Acting Master Class. It’s a rare opportunity to address upcoming actors.

And I also see it as an honor to have people look up to me. So I always like to take the opportunity to help them even if it’s with words”

Also on the panel were Rita Dominc, Uche Jombo, Kate Henshaw, ChiomaAkpotha , Omoni Oboli, Charles Novia, Segun Arinze and Lynn Whitfield.
