Kunle Remi: Not All Films Are Cinema-Worthy
Nollywood actor Kunle Remi believes that not every film labeled as cinematic truly deserves the title. In an interview with Hip TV, he pointed out that many Nigerians, including filmmakers, often confuse TV-quality productions with genuine cinematic experiences.
Remi used director Kunle Afolayan as an example, noting that Afolayan’s work exemplifies true cinema, while he might not be as successful with TV projects due to his focus on cinematic filmmaking. Remi also mentioned that he can easily identify rushed and poorly executed films, finding it humorous when producers claim to shoot cinema films in just five days.
Remi emphasized that his intention is not to discourage emerging filmmakers but to encourage them to accept constructive criticism. He urged filmmakers to understand the difference between cinema and TV films, which he believes is essential for the growth of the industry. Remi advised filmmakers not to take offense when their work is critiqued, as this feedback is a valuable part of the learning process.

Brazilian police say they’ve stopped a planned bombing at a Lady Gaga concert held Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro. Authorities have arrested one suspect linked to the failed attack, and investigations are still ongoing.
According to the Civil Police, a group had been using online platforms to recruit people for a planned assault using homemade explosives. The attackers were reportedly hoping to gain fame on social media by carrying out the act. The concert, part of Gaga’s Mayhem tour, took place at the iconic Copacabana venue.
The pop star had shared her excitement about the show on Instagram last month, saying she was happy to return to Brazil after a past cancellation due to injury. She called it an honor to perform for her Brazilian fans, who she described as a big part of her journey.
