Mami Wata
Filmed in vivid black-and-white, C.J. Obasi’s bold Sundance winning film navigates the conflict between tradition and modernity in a Nigerian coastal village, featuring an incredible oceanic soundscape and hypnotic score.
Director: C.J. 'Fiery' Obasi
Overview
Spiritual beliefs conflict with inter-generational tensions in a matriarchal ocean village where the West African water deity Mami Wata reigns. When the harmony of the village is threatened, two sisters fight to restore order. C.J. Obasi’s third feature, a winner at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, cements his position at the forefront of a new wave of Nigerian filmmaking. Vividly shot in black-and-white, it features an incredible oceanic soundscape and hypnotic score.
