The inaugural Germany-Nigeria Film Week 2026 has been slated for October 1–10, 2026 across Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen and Hannover.
The upcoming event marks a major step in cultural diplomacy and cinematic collaboration between the two countries.
In a press release by the Directors Guild of Nigeria public relations officer, Emmanuel Eyaba, the 10-day event is being organised by Germany’s SONNENKIND Film e.V. and Nigeria’s Pan-African Film Development Foundation.
It aims to deepen ties between both film industries, unlock investment opportunities, encourage co-productions and showcase Nigerian cinema alongside Germany’s renowned production infrastructure.
