    There was no communication, website is invalid, no social media pages.
    I think these film festivals should be scrutinized and quarantined before accumulating people's contents.

    Uzoma, thanks for your review, however I think you are not being fair to us the organiser of this festival. We never asked for payment from you or anyone we are doing our best within our limited resources to promote indigenous language film genre. We may not have been perfect in this maiden edition but we are sure working to make the next edition much bigger and better. However, your surly comment was uncalled for.
