Lagos will be the focus of the City to City program at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The Festival artistic director Cameron Bailey will curate the Lagos program.
The focus will highlight ways through which the city has become a hub for filmmakers and how studios and producers across the world can plug into the growing industry.
City to City features recent work from filmmakers living and working in hot spots of global cinema. Previous editions have showcased movie hotspots including London, Tel Aviv, Mumbai and Athens.
The films selected for the City to City program will be announced in August. The 41st annual Toronto International Film Festival runs from Sept. 8 to 18, 2016.
