My guest on today's episode is film curator and author Nadia Denton.  We discuss Nigeria film making and why she coined the term 'Beyond Nollywood.  We talk about the Nigeria film space, her visits to Nigeria, content coming out from the region, storytelling from Africa and the challenges of bringing said stories to streaming platforms for a wider audience.  We also delve into what she would describe as a genre unique to Nigeria film making.  Nadia talks about her role as a curator of films, and the importance of cultural curation. We examine conversations surrounding diversity in the industry and women within the industry.  And of course, Nadia shares with us the quote that continually inspires her. Nadia Denton has worked in the UK film industry for over a decade as an Impact Producer, Curator and Author. She specialises in Nigerian Cinema and coined the term BEYOND NOLLYWOOD.
