‘Phoenix Fury’ bags Best Film award at the 13th edition of AFRIFF

Phoenix Fury, a Nollywood film, won the Best Film prize at the 13th African Film Festival, which took place at the Oriental Hotel on November 10, 2024.

This year’s African Film Festival witnessed the recognition of stellar performances and outstanding films.

Directed by Ifeoma Nkiruka Chukwuogo, Phoenix Fury showcases a filmmaker’s ability to seamlessly blend past and present elements together serving us a fine collage of storytelling. The film follows Ifeatu from her birth through a series of largely unfortunate events that lead her to seek revenge against a man who wrecked her life; Yali. Divided into four chapters, we are taken on a journey with two main characters for each period. Through seamless transitions, the film effortlessly moves between two worlds—one rooted in the struggles of the past and the other in the complexities of the present.

Phoenix Fury features Nollywood stars including Ama K. Abebrese, Ijeoma Grace Agu, Adjetey Anang, Onyinye Odokoro, Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD) and Uzoamaka Aniunoh.
