“The 20th edition of the AMAA is a big deal, and we are not just going to be rolling out in a big way, we are intentional about making the 20th edition one of the best AMAAs that Africans will celebrate the gathering of over 60 African film practitioners and creatives. This has always been what our late sister and founder, Peace Anyiam-Osigwe had been planning and wished for before her death and we will actualise the dream to the glory of God, legacy of PMO and lofty strides of the African film sector,” Raymond said.
