Free Screening of 'Coconut Head Generation'- Award Winning Nigerian Film

Alain Kassanda’s Coconut Head Generation is a powerful observational documentary that reclaims the disparaging term used to dismiss Nigerian youth as "brainless youth", illustrating that they are anything but. Students gather weekly for a film club at the University of Ibadan—the country’s oldest university, still shaped by its colonial legacy—where post-film, sometimes-heated conversations revolve around politics, feminism, and identity. Coconut Head Generation presents an intellectually vibrant environment, where spirited debates challenge generational stereotypes and reveal a youth collective deeply attuned to Nigeria’s socio-political realities.

Winner of the Grand Prize at the Cinéma du Réel festival in 2023.
