This year's AMAA, which will be held at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Ikeja, will bring together over 60 notable figures from Africa's film industry.

Mr Tony Anih, Chief Operating Officer of AMAA, expressed his excitement about the landmark event, which he described as a celebration of <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/movies/africa-movie-academy-awards-returns-for-its-20th-edition/xlj5lxg">African cinema's resilience and growth. </a>

The evening promises performances from top African artists, including Ghana's Adina Thembi and Nigeria's Yinka Davies. Ghanaian guitarist Naird will add a unique touch to the night's music.

Legendary actors like Ghana's Lydia Forson, Nigeria's Chinedu Ikeduze, and Burkina Faso's Charles Koutou are also expected to attend.

According to AMAA's technical director, Mr Kingsley James, this year's event will be one of the most memorable in AMAA history.

"We have an impeccable African lineup that will truly impress all attendees," he stated. "Hosting by Nigeria's Segun Arinze and Ghana's Joselyn Dumas, alongside musical giants like Femi Kuti and 9ice, will make it an unforgettable evening."

An additional highlight will be the African Legends Night on November 1 at Amore Garden in Lekki, where the Africa Film Academy (AFA) will celebrate African creatives.

"This event honours her dream of showcasing African talent and bringing our film industry together," he said.

The 20th AMAA is poised to be a historic moment in African film, with talents from across the continent set to converge in Lagos for a night that promises celebration, remembrance, and the elevation of African cinema.
