Makemation, the first feature film out of Africa themed on artificial intelligence, is poised to make history as it prepares for its highly anticipated global release in Lagos, Nigeria, this Easter.
This groundbreaking production has already garnered global attention with an international teaser screening at the 2024 Global AI Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a private stakeholders’ viewing at the Kenya Innovation Week 2024, and an exclusive screening at the residence of the U.S. Consul General in Lagos leading up to the Global Inclusivity and AI Africa Conference.
Featuring an unconventional and exciting mix of Nollywood’s brightest stars, tech industry experts, public officials and emerging talents from the social media space, Makemation is a four-quadrant family drama that distinctively blends pop culture, research and AI into a high-tension, inspiring and comedic masterpiece. The coming-of-age film takes audiences on an emotional, thought-provoking, and hilarious journey, highlighting how young Africans are leveraging world-class technology to tackle some of the continent’s most wicked problems.
Produced by a gifted and vibrant team of young creatives, many in their 20s and 30s, Makemation goes beyond entertainment to explore critical themes such as STEM education, digital skills, financial literacy, and gender equality. The film also advocates for greater accessibility to technology, inclusion of disadvantaged populations, and equitable healthcare driven by locally developed solutions.
