Lights, camera, BAABFest! We’re bringing the big screen to BAABFest 2026 with six films from across Nigeria, each opening up a different way to think about identity, memory, heritage, culture and belonging. Expect compelling stories, filmmaker spotlights and conversations that go beyond the screen. You’ll get to hear directly from the people behind the films, share your own perspectives and connect with others through the stories we tell. Six Films. One Big Conversation: Identity. Curated by @taribo_art , Film Programme Curator, BAABFest 2026. If you love film and the conversations that come with it, come spend the morning with us. Saturday, 14 November 2026 Time: 9:00 AM Venue: Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub, Benin City Free and open to the public.
