The Nigerian movie industry has once again failed to win its country’s contender at the International Feature Film for the 2024 Oscars Awards event.
Nigerian Official Selection Committee (NOSC) selected the Sundance Festival award-winning film, “Mami Wata” as its contender for the 96th Academy Awards’ International Feature Film (IFF) category.
However, the film fell short after the release of the shortlisted films from 15 countries that made the cut.
