The First Edition of the PEFTI Arts
Festival, organised by PEFTI Film Institute, was a resonant success.
The week-long
fiesta commenced on August 22, with a two-day Film Festival; where over 50 Short
Student Films of diverse genres were screened. The entries, based on the
“Ecology” theme, told compelling stories and facts on how we can treat our
environment better.
On Friday August
26, the popular Obaseki Play, IDIA, was staged by students of PEFTI Institute;
and met with resounding applause from an audience of over 1,500 who were
delightfully thrilled by the energetic performances of the award-winning story.
The festival
ended on a high note with an eclectic Music Concert on Saturday August 27, which
had the PEFTI Band treating guests to professional renditions of oldies,
afro-beat, reggae, contemporary pop, and highlife music.
Awards were
presented to several deserving individuals.
The Managing
Director of PEFTI, Abiola Adenuga, had this to say: “We appreciate the
thousands of people who came from across the country to witness the first
edition of PEFTI Arts Festival. Our students, lecturers and non-academic staff
really put in a lot of effort, and we are pleased that the results were more
than rewarding. For over 10 years, we have trained several thousands of musicians,
film-makers, dancers, on-air personalities, actors, and other arts-enthusiasts;
this festival is just a glimpse into the remarkable talents we are currently
developing.
