ENIFF 1 in Enugu

The edition

Enugu Virtual Edition

ENIFF's first edition did not begin as expected. A physical festival had been planned for Enugu, but COVID-19 restrictions changed those plans.

Instead, ENIFF's first gathering moved online, connecting filmmakers and audiences virtually at a moment when physical gathering had become impossible. Forty films were selected for the inaugural virtual edition.

Headline film

Skin

The Oscar-winning short screened as part of the inaugural programme.
