“Well, we did the impossible. The film festival was a magnificent success. The four day Abuja festival, the satellite trainings and the satellite festivals went off beautifully. Over three hundred people attended the Opening Night, and with each subsequent screening, audiences large and small revealed a hunger for the kind of inspiration and dialogue that the festival stimulates.” Marie Pace, UNDP Program Officer in Nigeria
