The rising star has made her debut film, Dreamers, a semi-autobiographical love story set in an immigration detention centre. She talks about fleeing persecution in Nigeria – and what she learned from French new waveJoy Gharoro-Akpojotor had a little wobble when she stepped on to the stage after the screening of her debut feature, Dreamers, at the London film festival. The Nigerian-British director’s film is a love story set in an immigration detention centre. It had already premiered in Berlin earlier this year. But showing her semi-autobiographical film to a home crowd in London felt exposing. “I suddenly had this feeling: Oh my God, everyone can see me. Everyone knows everything about me.” She laughs.Gharoro-Akpojotor has built a reputation as a rising star producer. Her company Joi Productions makes films telling black, female and gay stories.

4 w. ago The Frida Kahlo scandal: Fridamania could reach new heights today – but where are her ‘missing’ masterpieces?

An auction in New York today is almost certain to make the celebrated artist a record-breaker. But, overshadowing what could be a $60m sale, are questions about works that have allegedly disappearedThis may well be Frida Kahlo’s biggest year yet.
