The Nollywood Phenomenon

Nollywood is the second largest film industry in the world. It produces circa 2,500 movies annually, and is extremely popular with Africans at home and the Diaspora, African-Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, and “African culture fans”.
Currently, Nollywood films significantly outsell Hollywood films in Nigeria and many countries in sub-Saharan Africa; they are available in even the most remote areas of the continent.
New forms of distribution include FAST (Free Ad Supported Streaming Television) distribution, pioneered by African Movie Channel through its FAST service, Nolly Africa HD now available on FAST/CTV platforms such as Plex, Freeview UK, Distro, Channelbox, Cineverse, theGrio, Mansa, Freecast and many others.
Nollywood films are also receiving wider distribution as more and more Nigerian producers and directors are attending internationally acclaimed film festivals.
Nollywood movies are now regularly screened alongside mainstream movies in cinemas in Nigeria, Ghana, UK and North America.
