Yet more additions to the lineup for the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival! This year's City to City slate focuses on Lagos, with eight new titles from the capital of Nigeria, one of the world's most active national film industries. And two Lagos-based actors, Somkele Iyamah-Ighalam and O. C. Ukeje, receive the TIFF Rising Star awards, while director Kunle Afolayan and actor Genevieve Nnaji will feature in an In Conversation With... session.
