Nigeria

Nigerian cinema is best known for Nollywood, which since the 1990s has grown into one of the world's largest film industries by volume, producing quick, low-budget video films about family, faith and money. A newer 'New Nollywood' generation, including Kunle Afolayan, mixes polished production with the popular energy, and earlier Yoruba theatre and Tunde Kelani's work remain an important root.
