Bleeding Rose

Quintessential micro budget Nollywood production.

A group of university students have been sent on a field trip to a remote forest. Away from civilisation and love is kindled between the young people. However, their actions have disturbed something and the magic and spirits and in the forest are stirring...

Since the mid nineties an extraordinary film business has mushroomed in Nigeria to become the worlds third largest. Enabled by accessible technology and the indomitable entrepreneurial spirit of Nigerians themselves, an alternate industry, marginalised by mainstream media conglomerates, has empowered Africans to put their own stories and concerns on screen. Features are shot, edited, copied and distributed on DVD in as little as ten days. Typical characteristics include sprawling, open ended narratives deriving from indigenous traditions of story telling and drama. Frequently concerned with topical issues such as family loyalties, social and economic challenges affecting the lives of those watching them.

A rare opportunity to see the kind of film popular across West Africa, we are delighted to welcome on this occasion director Chucks Mordi for a question and answer session after the screening.
