Nollywood actor and filmmaker Femi Adebayo Salami is basking in the glory of his latest cinematic achievement, as his movie Seven Doors secures 11 nominations at the 11th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).

The film, which has captivated audiences with its compelling storytelling and stellar performances, has been recognized in major award categories, including Best Lead Actor, Best Lead Actress, Best Indigenous Language Film (West Africa), Best Director, Best Sound Design, Best Music Score, Best Art Direction, and more.

A Testament to Hard Work and Creativity

Expressing his excitement, Adebayo took to social media to celebrate the milestone, showering gratitude on the cast, crew, and industry stakeholders who played a role in bringing Seven Doors to life.

“What an incredible milestone! #SevenDoors has knocked down 11 nominations at the 11th AMVCA! A huge THANK YOU to our phenomenal cast, crew, and every stakeholder who brought this masterpiece to life. Your dedication, passion, and talent made this moment possible!”

Opinion: What This Means for Nollywood

Femi Adebayo’s success with Seven Doors is a huge win for the Nigerian film industry, particularly in the indigenous language film category.

In recent years, Nollywood has evolved beyond just entertainment, with filmmakers now prioritizing authentic African storytelling, high-quality production, and culturally rich narratives. Movies like Aníkúlápó: The Rise of the Spectre and Jagun Jagun have already set the tone for indigenous films on global platforms, and Seven Doors seems poised to continue that trend.

The Power of Fans: Can Seven Doors Bring Home the Award?

As voting begins, Adebayo has called on fans to support the movie by voting in the Best Indigenous Language Film (West Africa) category.

With Nollywood films gaining more recognition on international stages, this AMVCA edition is another opportunity to celebrate indigenous storytelling and push for more investment, recognition, and global appeal in African cinema.
