As a prominent institution in the realm of acting and filmmaking, the AGN has long been celebrated for its unwavering commitment to nurturing talent and promoting the art of acting.

While the AGN International Festival has traditionally served as a Pan-African platform for celebrating the talents of Nigerian actors and filmmakers, this year’s edition is set to leave an indelible mark on the global stage.

Under the visionary leadership of AGN’s President, Dr. Emeka Rollas, and the dynamic AGN International Festival Chairperson, Dr. Alex Okoroji.

The concept of the Actor’s Festival emerged as a testament to the AGN’s commitment to elevating the status of actors and their craft. This historic event will be a jubilation of the art and craft of acting, offering a unique platform for actors worldwide to convene and showcase their skills, talents, and innovations.

The festival is set to feature a diverse and dynamic program, encompassing the essence of acting in all its forms, spanning film, television, theatre, and digital media.

Attendees can look forward to a plethora of events, including masterclasses, panel discussions, film screenings, live performances, and more. The festival promises to be an immersive experience, fostering connections and opportunities for actors and enthusiasts within the vibrant atmosphere of Miami.

One of the primary objectives of the Actor’s Festival is to bridge cultural gaps and promote international collaboration among actors. It is designed not only to spotlight the remarkable talent within the AGN but also to extend a warm invitation to actors and artists from across the globe, fostering a rich exchange of ideas and experiences.

The choice of Miami, Florida, as the host city for this groundbreaking event was a strategic one. Miami’s cultural diversity and vibrant entertainment industry provide an ideal backdrop for this global celebration of acting. It serves as a perfect setting for the world’s first Actor’s Festival.

The AGN International Festival in Miami, scheduled from November 16 to 18, 2023, is poised to usher in a new era in the world of acting. Actors from diverse backgrounds will unite to celebrate their shared passion, marking a historic moment for the AGN, Nigeria, and the global acting community.
