Uromi, in Esan North-Eastern Local
Government Area of Edo State, is currently in a state of frenzy, as a
festival of Lancelot Imasuen's movies opens today, in the ancient
town.
The festival holding at Citadel Cinema,
Uromi, according to an insider, will feature over 60 works of the
popular movie director and producer. Some of the movies slated for
showing are “Love upon the Hills”, 'Shadows in the dark”,
“Single in Abuja”, “ATM” and his latest movie, “Love
Birds.” This feast is coming days after Edo State Governor, Mr.
Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki
penned a heartfelt note to the
Benin-born popular film maker, commending his latest offering,
“LoveBirds.”
In the letter, Obaseki wrote, “I
celebrate you as one of the icons who have taken the Nigerian movie
industry not only to the world stage, but according it high regard
and patronage. You are also doing tremendously well by promoting
Benin movies and promoting the allures of our rich culture to attract
foreigners and broadens the economic prospects of Edo State. Your
efforts are highly regarded for assisting to provide employment and
present the ideal moral prospective for societal lessons.”
“As you continue to make landmark
progress in your profession, I sincerely want to thank you for being
a worthy ambassador of Edo State and to specially congratulate you on
your new movie “Love Birds.” Lancelot, who has over 60 movies to
his credit, delved into the movie industry since 1999, as a film
director and producer.
