The second is a plenary session on Nollywood and African Satellite Channels.

One of the most notable features of the African media landscape is the runaway success of the Nigerian film industry, dubbed Nollywood. In twenty years of its existence, Nollywood has placed Nigerian filmmaking footprints indelibly on the global filmmaking canvas. Nollywood has become centred in film discourse around the globe.
