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.
