Kunle Afolayan Talks about His Film ‘October 1st’, Says He Wants More Than Nollywood [VIDEO]

Nigeria's film industry, known as Nollywood, started just over 20 years ago and is now the third largest in the world.

Many of its low-budget films follow well-tried formulas with huge doses of love, betrayal and, often, witchcraft.

However, some Nigerian filmmakers are working outside the Nollywood genre, hoping to succeed internationally. Kunle Afolayan is one of them – in this interview with BBC, the film-maker talks about his latest film, “October 1^st” and his plans for the future.
