Sierra Leone & South Africa At War Over Sollywood by jiggaz(m): 9:35pm On Mar 01, 2015 |
Saw this article online lol.. In 2010, Sierra Leone producer and director Jimmy Bangura had this to say about the Sierra Leonean movie industry: “In few years, people won’t be talking about Hollywood, Bollywood or Nollywood. People will be talking about Sollywood in Sierra Leone”. The experienced film maker has successfully produced and directed a few movies that have been screened on Africa’s popular television stations like DSTV and MNET. His films have also been screened on Sky Television. He was also at one time reported to have lured A-List Nollywood actor Ramsey Nouah to partake in a Sollywood movie. He has also reached out to other African countries’ film stars to help grow Sollywood, casting them in roles in his films. Also for a long while now, there have been questions raised about why the South African film industry has not join the big movie-making business with their own South African stories and movie industry. But finally in the same year 2010, Actor and Director Tiro Venter and producer) Inda Khumalo, decided to take on the challenge. They succeeded in making a huge budget movie. To avoid piracy, the movie was available exclusively at www.sollywood.co.za , Hence the creation and registration of South Africa’s Sollywood. Since then not much has been heard of both film industries, and non has been able to meet or measure up to the standards of Nigeria's Nollywood nor Ghana’s Ghollywood. But the question remains which of these is recognized as the legitimate Sollywood internationally? Jimmy Bangura, Sierra Leonean Producer Tiro Venter, South African Producer.
