Akinola Davies Jr is a British-Nigerian filmmaker whose debut feature made history as the first Nigerian film ever selected to premiere in Official Competition at the Cannes Film Festival — earning a Special Mention for the Caméra d’Or and later becoming the UK’s Oscar entry.
In this episode of Visionaries, we sat down to discuss how Akin’s work is constantly weaving worlds and the creative faith it takes to make something that hasn’t been done before.
