Bollywood" is the name of the film industry in India. The country is the world's largest filmmaker. "Nollywood" in Nigeria is now the world's second-largest filmmaker. It produces 2,000 or more movies every year.
Some of the best Nollywood films are showing at a film festival in Paris. The festival is called "Nollywood Week." This is the third year the festival has taken place.
Nigeria is an English-speaking country. However, festival organizer Serge Noukoue says holding the festival in the French capital makes sense.
"Paris is the world's cinema capital in a way. It's really an important city for cinema. It's a city that matters… and I believe Nollywood is an industry that matters. I believe it just makes sense to have a platform here for Nollywood, and especially [for] Nollywood's finest films.
