B for Boy by Chika Anadu

IS IT COMMON IN NIGERIA?
no established actors - who is in charge
male child is very important, heritage, carry on family name
what affects me the most is that I am a woman, Igol and Nigeria woman inspite my many identities - director, Nigerian, woman
CAMERA?
dont like it to be still
capture the most important movements as no time for extra setups
FUTURE PRIJECTS
no feature film
I am a feminist
I want to do commercials
WHY IGAL LANGUAGE
not convinced in English for actors
can embody the character in native tongue
NOLIWOOD (FUNDING BODY?)
a genre of film, like sitcom
now sb like me what sth. different
modern and traditional role as a womab in Nigeria
unfair treatment, victimised womeb, vicious circle - victims make other victims
MAN'S ROLE
not their fault, it is set, always like that
he knows his duty, but then... you found you are not you thought what you are
he is just there...he is not such a good guy
MALE CHILD IS EXPECTED IN NIGERIA? OTHER REALITY
GENDER CLASH, CLASHES IN THE WILDER WORLD
uneasiness in modern world
convinent for them when they talk about traditions, they always justify, no one question
if we can get rid of his culture, be more fair to women
its time for sth new
