Who We Are
Guardians of a nation's moving-image memory
Heritage Film Ventures is a Nigerian nonprofit organisation dedicated to locating, recovering, restoring, preserving, documenting and promoting Nigerian and African films for future generations.
"A film that is lost is a memory that can never be recovered. We exist so that Nigeria never forgets its own story."
What We Do
Six pillars of preservation
From the search for lost prints to the celebration of restored classics, our work spans the full life of a film's survival.
