EMERGING VOICES AND INSPIRING CHANGE THROUGH FILM
Remember the first time you went to the cinema for the first time, the flickering lights, the complete darkness , do you remember the awe you felt and the sense of togetherness you felt with the other viewers as you watched the scenes play across the screen and how you left the cinema feeling like you just returned from another world and how that feeling and glow followed you into the week?,
The Film in the Park festival seeks to reignite that magic,showcasing the works of emerging filmmakers who want to share your love for cinema and storytelling.
Tomiwa Precious Otun, a budding Film producer and lead organizer of the maiden film festival disclosed that The Film in the Park [FLIP] MAIDEN edition themed “Empowering Emerging Voices and Inspiring Change” is dedicated to uncovering and showcasing emerging talent and diverse voices within the film industry.
“This festival promises a showcase of cinematic brilliance, where the art of film is celebrated and harnessed as a powerful tool for cultural documentation and social change.
Tomiwa Otun noted that “the vision is rooted in purpose , the FLIP festival was borne out of a need to document and illuminate our life and times through the creativity of film. Unlike music which is another beloved form of artistic expression, films have a unique and lasting impact, etching themselves into our collective memories.”
She noted “Some people have shared their experiences growing up, how they often found themselves mimicking actors from the films they watched, adopting their walks and accents, captivated by their stories.”
“Consider how most people don’t have favorable opinions of the Nigerian Police, this can be traced to their portrayal in most films. The FLIP festival seeks to contribute positively to this journey by documenting and showcasing the work of budding and exceptional filmmakers.”
“This task is crucial, as the stories we tell today will shape the legacy we leave behind, just like how we are shaped the stories we watched and heard while growing up.”
Tomiwa Otun also adds “while celebrating diversity and resilience, the theme of our festival , “Empowering Voices, Inspiring Change” is a heartfelt tribute to the vibrant and diverse experiences of young Nigerians, it celebrates their creativity and talent amidst the obstacles they face.”
Film in the Park maiden edition of the festival is scheduled to hold this Saturday, August 24, 2024, at Freedom Park, Hospital Road, off Broad Street, Lagos Island, Lagos. And is expected to accommodate over Two hundred film enthusiasts”.
