An African film sequel is hitting communities directly in a major push for accessible cinema. The virtual cinema platform Circuits, alongside Euphoria 360, launched Agesinkole: Kings of Thieves, Part 2, a Yoruba epic produced by Femi Adebayo. They are rolling it out through grassroots screenings in southwest Nigeria, aiming to bring the big screen experience to underserved areas.
The premiere was packed with Nollywood heavyweights like Odunlade Adekola, Mercy Aigbe, and Segun Arinze. Circuits' chief operating officer, Imade Bibowei-Osuobeni, stated the project focuses on inclusion, letting people everywhere see major African stories in a proper cinematic format. She noted the platform is celebrating its first anniversary with this co-production, which also involved Hawk Studios, with Blue Pictures handling distribution.
The film itself is getting praised for its ambitious scale and visual style. Bibowei-Osuobeni expressed a strong belief that this sequel could become one of the continent's most significant film exports. The overall strategy marks a continued effort by Circuits to redefine how African narratives are both told and reached by audiences, championing a community-first release model.
