Lights, Camera, Africa! (LCA!) Film Festival in collaboration with Mbari Kola, The Arts Society, will host a special 10th anniversary screening of the movie, Faaji Agba, a landmark documentary by filmmaker Remi Vaughan-Richards, on October 1 2025, at Agip Hall, Muson Center, Lagos.
First premiered in Nigeria at the LCA! Film Festival in 2015, Faaji Agba chronicles the revival of Lagos’ forgotten highlife greats, brought together by music historian Kunle Tejuoso.
The film has since endured as a cultural time capsule, reviving the voices of veteran musicians and reintroducing their timeless sound to new generations.
Founder, LCA! Film Festival, Ugoma Ebilah, stated that a decade later, Faaji Agba continues to echo with the pulse of Lagos, reminding viewers of the power of music to preserve memory and cultural legacy.
“We are proud to celebrate this milestone as we also mark the revival journey of the festival in collaboration with Mbari Kola,” she added.
The event, which opens at 4 pm, will also feature talks and a question and answer session with the legendary filmmaker, Vaughan-Richards, socials, and listening sessions by Kunle Tejuosho alongside a throwback to the original film trailer.
