| Africa Movie Academy Awards |
Since its inception in 2005, AMAA (Africa Movie Academy
Awards) has established itself as the most prestigious and glamorous awards
celebrating film making on the continent. The gala event, which is televised
live around the world, attracts Hollywood celebrities alongside their African
counterparts, as well as African politicians and media.
Today, African films serve as a link for Africans in the
Diaspora with Africans at home. These films have the potential to serve as a
shared collective experience, a reminder that Africa is a vibrant continent
filled with colour, energy and possibility.
“There is this great awareness of the possibilities in
Africa. This has been an exciting year for African cinema as many big budget productions
have been produced on the continent and distribution is becoming more
accessible to African films,” says AMAA Founder and CEO Peace Anyiam-Osigwe.
