Reacting to the expectations about the night, AMAA’s technical director, Mr Kingsley James expressed that it will be a night to remember as all hands are on deck to make this year’s edition not only special but memorable like others.

James also noted that the music artists performing have been carefully selected from Africa knowing fully well their dexterity and brilliance in African genre of music.

“We have an impeccable and African line up that would wow all attendees. The show would be hosted by Nigeria’s Segun Arinze and Ghana’s Joselyn Dumas. For musical performances, the cast will be led by the legendary Femi Kuti and Gongo Aso star, 9ice. Also billed to perform at 2024 AMAA are Yinka Davies, Narh Tettey, Bedwei Kwaku and Adina Thembi.

On Friday, November 1, the Africa Film Academy, AFA, the producers of AMAA, will fete and celebrate African creatives and film stars at an event tagged African Legends night, which will be held at the Amore Garden inside Lekki phase I, Lagos.

“The 20th edition of the AMAA is a big deal and the board of AFA, owners of the continental film awards have concluded to roll out drums and make this edition memorable to all African filmmakers, creatives, nominees, and everyone who had ever been on the AMAA stage.

“We are not just going to be rolling out in a big way, we are intentional about making the 20th edition one of the best AMAAs that Africans will celebrate the gathering of over 60 African film practitioners and creatives. This has always been what our late sister and founder, Peace Maria Ogechi Anyiam-Osigwe had been planning and wished for before her death and we will actualize the dream to the glory of God, legacy of PMO and lofty strides of the African film sector,” Raymond Anyiam-Osigwe said.
