The Storymi Academy, a filmmaker, Ike Nnaebue, in collaboration with the French Embassy, has mentored six young Nigerian filmmakers on documentary films in France.
A statement by Nnaebue said he had been at the forefront of mentoring these six individuals at the Storymi Academy.
Other co-mentors were BBC West Africa Correspondent, Mayeni Jones, and a foremost French documentary filmmaker, Louise Monlau.
The six filmmaking mentees, according to the statement are Daniel Itegboje, Lateefah Mataki, Aimalohi Ojeamiren, Nana Mohammed, Solomon Shaibu, and Samad Uthman.
The Storymi Academy was founded by award-winning French journalist, Sophie Boulion.
It read, “The tour commenced in Paris, where an excerpt of Ike’s multi-award-winning documentary, ‘No U-Turn,’ was showcased.
“This was followed by the screening of six short documentaries created by the young filmmakers. These works not only display their burgeoning talent but also demonstrate the profound ability of documentary films to convey diverse narratives.”
The statement revealed that at an international documentary festival, FIPADOC, the group participated in screenings and engaged in panel discussions.
It added that Nnaebue shared his insights on Documentary Filmmaking in Nigeria, enriched by his journey and Mayeni Jones’ experiences.
The statement said, “Nnaebue emphasised the untapped potential in Nollywood’s documentary sector. He highlighted the rich, diverse stories that Nigeria, a multi-culturally rich country, has to offer. Nnaebue envisions a future where documentary films become a mainstream genre in Nigeria.”
This tour is more than just a display of films; it’s a celebration of storytelling, creativity, and the indomitable spirit of documentary filmmakers.”
One of the mentees, Daniel Itegboje, shared, “Last year has been an incredible, life-changing journey. Meeting people who share my passion for film and having mentors who care deeply about my growth has been beyond my imagination. My professional and artistic development as a filmmaker has been astronomical.”
