Celebrated filmmaker,
Tunde Kelani, has joined the growing band of online television owners
as he launched his tundekelani.tv platform on Friday 7 August.
The new online platform is
rich with African cultural themed contents for viewers globally and is web-based
and can be viewed on all mobile devices.
According to the award
winning film director, the video channel is designed to offer viewers of all
ages a refreshing viewing experience of his past and current works and other
cultural themed contents from different owners across Africa and the
Diaspora.
"It is an attempt to
respond to the yearnings of our teeming fans of rich African themed contents
on the go. Distributing films or other contents physically are becoming
increasingly difficult, revenues are lost on a daily basis and content owners
are at the mercy of the menacing activities of pirates. I think it is just
natural, expedient and sensible to take contents closer to the
consumers on demand and in terms that suit all the parties involved,” kelani
said,
He added that research has
shown that with a simple mobile device, online TV viewers
can watch any content online without scruples. As the new online destination
for African cultural themed contents, Kelani urged all other content
owners to get on board.
The tundekelani.tv platform
will also offer viewers, business owners, private or corporate organisations
the opportunity to advertise and promote their brands.
Subscribers of tundekelani.tv will be able
to access a wide range of genre, including movies, high quality drama,
interviews and documentaries that focus on issues mainstream media fails to
cover adequately.
Besides Kelani's classic titles
such as Oleku, Agogo Ewo, Saworoide,
Thunderbolt (Magun), Narrow Path, Campus Queen and Maami, the
online platform will also screen TK’s latest experience Yeepa, an adaptation of Prof. Femi Osofisan's classic play, Yeepa Solarin Nbo. Also coming to
esteemed lovers of the new channel is Amos Tutuola's Palmwine Drinkards.
