Abstract
This paper explores the role of women in Nigerian cinema and its broader implications for the African film industry. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical perspectives, evolving narratives, and the challenges and opportunities faced by women filmmakers, the study sheds light on the transformative impact of women’s contributions to Nigerian cinema. By examining the representation of African women’s stories and experiences in global cinema through Nigerian films, the paper highlights the power of storytelling to challenge stereotypes, foster cross-cultural understanding, and promote gender equality. Through initiatives for women’s empowerment and advocacy for social change, Nigerian cinema emerges as a catalyst for inclusive and equitable representation in the cinematic landscape.
