Bridal Film Festival is the first of its kind film festival in Nigeria taking place during the first week of June in the very heart of Lagos. The next edition will run from 7 – 9 October 2022.

The aim of the Festival is to raise awareness and promote the various aspects of international bridal cinematography in all its forms. Projects are accepted from African, European, and Worldwide territories.

We work all year round to re-imagine the cinematic experience and explore how art can unite couples, cinematographers, and others. There is no greater satisfaction than delivering a Premium Bridal Film Festival to the audience, to film professionals, and to our partners. Our goal is to meet and exceed everyone’s expectations.
