According to QED.NG, Kunle Afolayan’s KAP SOPA bootcamp is set to graduate 20 Beninese filmmakers, extending the programme’s training focus beyond Nigeria.
The development highlights the growing regional connections within African film education and the role of established Nigerian filmmakers in building technical and creative capacity across borders.
Validation: QED.NG reports the graduation of 20 Beninese filmmakers through the KAP SOPA initiative.
Echotitbits take: Training programmes can have a longer-lasting industry effect than a single film release because they create new practitioners who can eventually produce work for local and international audiences.
