FilmOne Entertainment Chosen as Sole Nigerian Buyer at TIFF
FilmOne Entertainment has been chosen as the only Nigerian buyer to participate in TIFF: The Market at the Toronto International Film Festival, scheduled from September 10 to 16, 2026. This newly established market will host over 130 buyers from 49 countries, with FilmOne being one of only six companies selected from Africa.
The selection allows FilmOne to secure international films for Nigerian cinemas and promote Nollywood stories to global audiences. As Nigeria's leading independent distributor and cinema operator, FilmOne aims to meet with foreign sales agents, acquire new titles, and enhance the distribution of local films.
The presence of FilmOne at this significant trade event is seen as a pivotal change for Nigerian cinema, as it enables local distributors to negotiate better international distribution deals, thereby strengthening Nigeria's position in the global film market.
