Interesting facts
Ìfé, also spelt as Ife, is a 2020 Nigerian LGBT romantic film executive-produced by prominent Nigerian LGBTQ-rights activist Pamela Adie and directed by Uyaiedu Ikpe-Etim. The film is touted to be the first full-fledged lesbian film in the history of Nollywood. However, some sources stated that it is also the first Nigerian LGBT film.
Production
The script was penned as a romantic story between two females and the project was initiated jointly by Uyai Ikpe-Etim and Pamela Adie in collaboration with the Equality Hub, an NGO which operates in Nigeria focusing on LGBT rights. The film was set to break the stereotypes faced by the Nollywood industry, which historically failed to live up to the expectations of portraying LGBTQ elements.
