ìfé: (The Sequel) picks up from the events of the first film, with two women, Ife and Adaora, crossing paths again, years apart from their past passionate dalliance. Adaora has settled comfortably into domestic life with her husband, while Ife found love in South Africa. However, all of this threatens to fall apart when the pair reconnect unexpectedly at a Lagos book store. The film unfolds as an exploration of love, choice, and identity in Nigeria. It is an intimate and political look at the universal longing for connection and the courage it takes to live authentically.

A haunting Nigerian drama about Alex, a non-binary person from a conservative Yoruba family and strict Pentecostal community. Rejected by family, condemned by religion, and hunted by societal transphobia, Alex journeys through a dark, metaphorical forest haunted by a masquerade symbolizing fear and erasure. Blending suspense and the supernatural, the film powerfully explores identity, resilience, and the struggle to live authentically, while advocating for acceptance and the right to selfhood.
