Tunde Kelani, (A.K.A. TK), a Nigerian filmmaker, is a graduate of London Film School. He worked with WNBC, Ibadan, the Nigerian Television Authority, Lagos, BBC TV, and Reuters, at different times in different capacities. He has produced and directed many films that nurtured many young talents – some of the talents have become important figures in the Nigerian Film industry. Perhaps because he was transplanted from the bubbling Lagos metropolis to his local hometown in Ogun state at a young age, he grew up with the mind of using the film medium to answer some of the questions gnawing at his young mind. A voracious reader, Tunde Kelani also fell in love with photography at a young age. His love for books and good stories has led him to adapt so many stories into the film medium. In this conversation with Kolawole Olaiya of Nollywood In Review in Abeokuta, Ogun state of Nigeria, Tunde Kelani spoke on various topics that would interest both students, teachers and scholars of Nigerian movies. The conversation covers a wide area of film theory and practice, the adaptation of books into films and that of films into books, the place of women in Yoruba culture, and the representations of women in Nollywood movies. The issues discussed in this three-part interview series raise important questions for students and scholars of Nollywood movies

      The sessions with Kilani has been quite revealing and informative. It must be watched repeatedly to grasp the contemporary Nigerian approach to filmmaking and studies.
