The Unforgettable Premiere of Recall at AFRIFF 2024

Held at Filmhouse Cinemas, The Palms in Lekki, the event was filled with industry icons, Nollywood stars, aspiring filmmakers, and delegates from multiple embassies, highlighting the strong cultural ties and support for Nigerian storytelling on an international scale.

A Night of Connections and Emotion

From the start, the premiere radiated excitement and warmth.

Not only were friends, colleagues, and fans in attendance, but several key supporters were there as well, including representatives from Sterling Bank, Qoray, Duchess Hospital, LAMATA, and KNORR, all of whom played an essential role in bringing Recall to life.

The AFRIFF coordinators, led by Chioma Ude and her dedicated team, ensured everything flowed smoothly, turning the night into an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

A Story That Touched Hearts

Recall is a powerful, emotive love story that strikes deep at the heart. The film’s moving storyline left some audience members with tears in their eyes, and its beautiful performances created a ripple of emotion throughout the theater.

Set to make its full cinematic release next year after a festival run, Recall has already proven itself as a must-see film that connects with viewers on a profound level.

A Touching Dedication

In a heartfelt gesture, Afolayan dedicated Recall to his late mother, making the night even more personal and emotional, especially for the cast and crew.

In his closing remarks, he invited the actors on stage and introduced two young talents featured in the film, referring to them as “the future of tomorrow.”

It was a meaningful moment that underscored the spirit of mentorship and hope for the next generation of African storytellers.

As the credits rolled and the night drew to a close, one thing was clear: Recall is more than just a film—it is a tribute to love, family, and the power of storytelling.

A huge thank you goes out to the incredible partners and supporters who made this premiere possible, and we look forward to seeing the impact Recall will have as it continues its journey to theaters next year.
