London was brought to a
standstill last night, Saturday October 17, 2015, as the festival premiere of
the enthralling motion picture, Fifty, and the cast of A-list Nollywood
stars quietened the usually raucous streets of London’s Leicester Square. This
event marked the first African-style film premiere in London and witnessed the
largest ever assembly of spectators during its screening at the London Film
Festival.
The stars of the night were Omoni
Oboli, Ireti Doyle, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Nse Ikpe-Etim and Wale Ojo. The
celebrities were joined by the acclaimed creative director, Biyi Bandele and
the award winning executive producer Mo Abudu.
In continuance of its world-wide
acclaim and overwhelming appreciation, the much awaited Fifty
thrilled a grateful festival audience and enjoyed a rapturous and unending
standing ovation. The movie is set for release nationwide on the 18th of December, 2015.
Fifty captures a few pivotal days in the lives of four
Nigerian women at the pinnacle of their careers.
Tola, Elizabeth, Maria and Kate are forced at midlife to take inventory of
their personal lives, while juggling careers and family against the sprawling
backdrops of the upper middle-class neighbourhoods of Lagos.
The
four lead characters muster courage, put on their six-inch heels, working hard
and partying too, and strut confidently to tackle life’s curveballs head-on.
With rave reviews, a world-class
creative team (of vast Nigerian ancestry), and a tale that speaks directly to
the psyche of every conscious Nigerian woman, Fifty is a poignant
and hugely momentous chapter in Nigeria's emergence on the world film stage.
The film is set to redefine movie-making and movie-going in Africa.
Fifty will premiere in Nigeria with a special Grand World Premiere on
the 13th of December 2015 at The Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos
and there are a limited number of tables available at this grand premiere, so
book your VVIP table now and be one of the first to watch Fifty
on the continent. Fifty will then be released in cinemas
nationwide on the 18th of December 2015.
Go out and
support this African movie-magical experience where ever you are in the world
as Fifty also enjoys worldwide distribution via Netflix to 65
million homes globally.
