Ghanian Movies Soon to Get Banned in Nigeria

By -

Speculations are rife that the
once harmonious relationship
between the Nigerian movie
industry, Nollywood and its
counterpart, Ghana's Ghollywood,is currently
under threat as the movie
marketers under the aegis of
Film, Video Producers and
Marketers Association of
Nigeria (FVPMAN) has placed embargo on Ghanaian films with effect from the end of this month.

The association has also resolved to halt the distribution of films produced
by non-professionals. It insists that if such film(s) must be distributed at all, its right of ownership should be
transferred to its members on negotiation.

The FVPMAN chairman, Onitsha branch, Mr. Uzo Godson Nwosu who confirmed this development to HVP, said this position was taken after the association's general meeting last weekend in Onitsha.

According to him, the decision became necessary following the position taken by their Ghanaian counterparts who have banned the distribution of Nigerian films in their country long time ago.

His words, "starting from the first week of August, no Ghanaian film will be allowed to enter the Nigerian market again. We have resolved that no Ghanaian film will be
distributed within our controlled market. Our Ghanaian counterparts have long stopped distributing our films in their country, and given this development, we have no choice than to
reciprocate the gesture." FVPMAN boss stated.

Nwosu who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Guinks Investment said any of their members who failed to compile with this new order will either be prosecuted or have his goods confiscated by the association.

The marketer said the association is finalising
plans to storm Ghana any moment from now,particularly to confront those local television stations who are illegally airing Nigerian films
without obtaining permission from the right owners.

Also, given the problem associated with "second tier market"(where a producer is compelled to observe a three-month grace before releasing his film into the market in a large quality), Nwosu said the association has decided to reverse the trend.

Film owners, according to him, are now free to release their films into the market without necessarily observing the mandatory three months grace before doing so.

They will also be required to obtain censors' board and copy right commission's documents in addition to registering the film with the sum of N10,000 with the FVPMAN.

"In order to move the association forward, we have resolved to address the problem of second tier market." FVPMAN boss further stated.

BALLET INSPIRED

(NINA RICCI fall 2012 ) I don't know why but somehow I was always drawn to ballet. This type of grace, simplicity and elegance of movement can only be seen in this dance… That is why ballet is an inexhaustible inspiration for all types of art. Just remember the sculptures of famous Edgar Degas. After I saw the "Black Swan" movie, ballet got a completely new dimension to me, especially when it comes to costumes. Before I knew ballet costumes took over the runways. This is how designers envisioned wearable ballet costumes. Ne znam zašto, ali balet me je nekako oduvijek privlačio. Ova vrsta gracioznosti, jednostavnosti i elegancije pokreta može se vidjeti samo u ovom plesu. Upravo to je razlog zašto je balet neiscrpna inspiracija za sve vrste umjetnosti. Dovoljno je sjetiti se skulptura poznatog Edgar Degasa. Nakon što sam pogledao film "Black Swan", balet je dobio potpuno novu dimenziju za mene, pogotovo kad je riječ o kostimima. Nisam se niti okrenuo bale...
