Fifty is one of 238
fiction and documentary features, including 16 World Premieres, 8 International
Premieres and 40 European Premieres.
The film stars Ireti
Doyle, Dakore Egbuson, Omoni Oboli and Nse Ikpe-Etim. The production is Mo
Abudu’s quest to showcase African women coming of age, loaded with increasingly
similar aspirations and dilemmas faced by their contemporaries everywhere,
while yet navigating unresolved traditions and obligations.
Set in Lagos, a city
of disproportionate and breathtaking contrasts, FIFTY celebrates the pulse and
energy of this fast developing metropolis and explores the diversities and
complexities of its colourful people through the lenses of its women.
Amanda Nevill, Chief
Executive Officer, BFI during her opening remarks declared this year’s festival
theme as “The Year of the Strong Woman”; a fitting theme for FIFTY, a riveting
exploration of love and lust, power and rivalry, seduction and infidelity.
FIFTY will have its
Festival premiere on Saturday, 17th October 2015, at the Vue 7 Cinema, London,
and a special grand Nigeria premiere on the 13th of December 2015 at The Eko
Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Mo Abudu, Biyi Bandele,
and one of the movie's lead cast members, Nse Ikpe-Etim, were all present at
BFI’s announcement.
