In a landmark meeting aimed at fostering international cooperation and growth within Nigeria’s creative sector, the National President of the Association of Movie Producers of Nigeria (AMP), Queen Ebigieson, held talks with the Acting High Commissioner of India to Nigeria, at the Indian High Commission, Vartika Rawat, in Abuja.

The discussions centered on developing strategic collaborations between Nollywood-the world’s second-largest film industry by volume-and Bollywood, India’s globally renowned film industry. Key areas of focus included joint training programs, film co-productions, technology exchange, and cultural storytelling initiatives designed to enhance the capabilities and global reach of Nigerian filmmakers.

Describing the meeting as “a historic opportunity to build lasting partnerships that will elevate the profile and capacity of Nigerian filmmakers,” Ebigieson emphasised the shared cinematic heritage between India and Nigeria.

She highlighted the potential for joint ventures and knowledge sharing in critical areas such as post-production, film distribution, and digital platform integration.
