FILMONE Entertainment has set the stage for a spectacular holiday season with the unveiling of “Colours of Fire”, a breathtaking new epic directed by celebrated Nigerian filmmaker Niyi Akinmolayan.
The film was previewed at the 2025 FilmOne Exhibitors’ Showcase, the annual gathering that brings together leading studios, distributors, and cinema stakeholders. The exclusive first-look screening drew thunderous applause from industry insiders, who lauded the movie’s vivid cinematography, emotionally charged storytelling, and ambitious production scale.
Produced under Anthill Studios, “Colours of Fire” is slated for release on Christmas Eve, positioning it as one of Nollywood’s most anticipated end-of-year blockbusters.
Critics and attendees at the showcase described the film as a seamless blend of Nigerian storytelling tradition and world-class filmmaking artistry — a hallmark of Akinmolayan’s creative vision. Known for hits such as The Wedding Party 2 and The House of Secrets, the director once again showcases his ability to merge technical excellence with cultural depth.
In a statement, FilmOne Entertainment reaffirmed its mission to spotlight bold, visionary African narratives that captivate audiences both locally and globally.
“Colours of Fire represents the next phase of Nollywood’s evolution — stories that are proudly African yet universally relatable,” the company noted. “Our goal is to support filmmakers who dare to dream bigger and redefine the cinematic experience.”
With its rich palette of emotion, spectacle, and creativity, “Colours of Fire” promises to be more than a holiday release — it’s shaping up to be a cinematic celebration of Nigerian imagination on the world stage.
