MIAMI BEACH FILM FESTIVAL SELECTS NIGERIAN SHORT FILM FOR SCREENING

MIAMI BEACH FILM FESTIVAL SELECTS NIGERIAN SHORT FILM FOR SCREENING

 



 A Nigerian short film is making significant waves on the international film scene. “Tears for Enebi”—a 16-minute film portraying the real-life ordeal of Enebi Annah, a celebrated beauty queen and poet—tells the harrowing story of how her life is upended when her trusted mentor and confidant rapes her. The deepest betrayal, however, is revealed in a shocking twist: the perpetrator also leads Africa’s most prominent anti-rape organization.


Since its debut, the film has been selected for nearly 20 film festivals worldwide, including the Independent Short Awards in Los Angeles, where it took home two major honors: Best Women Short Film and Best Actress for Rahmah Zakareeyah’s powerful lead performance. The film has also been featured at The Film Collective Film Festival in Virginia, among many others. Its most recent accolade comes with its selection for the Miami Beach Film Festival, marking it as one of the few African short films to be showcased at the prestigious event, scheduled for May 5th, 2026.


“Tears for Enebi” is produced by Godspower Oshodin, in association with Solution Media Studios, Mogson Productions, Purplemat Entertainment, and M2Net Studios. It is co-directed by Seun Manuel Faleye, Peter Atigogo, and Sunki, and features a talented cast including Foluke Daramola, Rahmah Zakareeyah, Seunmanuel Faleye, Kika Oshodin, and Aitaya Hansley.


This short film forms part of a larger series of advocacy-driven stories from Godspower Oshodin, which also includes upcoming projects such as “With Last Debt” and “I Don’t Blame You.” These films are slated for release later this year and are currently screening at festivals across America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Rahmah Zakareeyah, the internationally recognized award-winning actress who plays Enebi Annah, said:
“It is a breath of fresh air to be part of this journey. I always look for ways to contribute to societal sanity. Rape is highly condemnable, and I did my best to embody Enebi’s character with all the respect and empathy she deserves.”

Veteran Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola, who made a guest appearance, shared:
“When Dr. Oshodin invited me to be part of his anti-rape film ‘Tears for Enebi’, it was an immediate yes. Advocating against rape and abuse has been my passion since I was a young girl—it’s why I founded Passion Against Rape and Abuse in Africa (PARA Africa). ‘Tears for Enebi’ is a powerful story that directly addresses these urgent issues—and what makes it even more profound is that it is based on a true story.”

Great Adamz Unveils “Umada,” a Spiritual Afro-House Collaboration With Billboard-Charting Producer Manuel Riva

Great Adamz Unveils “Umada,” a Spiritual Afro-House Collaboration With Billboard-Charting Producer Manuel Riva

UK-based Afrobeats artist and Grammy-nominated performer Great Adamz steps into a bold new sonic chapter with his latest single, “Umada,” a hypnotic Afro-house and melodic deep-house collaboration produced by Romanian DJ and Billboard-charting producer Manuel Riva.

Blending ritual-like percussion, deep melodic textures, and haunting vocal emotion, Umada creates an immersive sound that moves fluidly between Afro House, Melodic House, and Deep House. Inspired in part by the European club scene, the record delivers an uplifting, dance-floor-ready experience while maintaining the emotional storytelling and vocal warmth that define Great Adamz’s artistry.

Meaning “amazing,” Umada lives up to its title—carrying infectious energy, feel-good rhythms, and a global club appeal designed for late-night movement, shared moments, and repeat listening. The single showcases Adamz’s willingness to evolve beyond genre expectations while remaining authentic to his melodic instincts and expressive delivery.

The production comes from Manuel Riva, whose breakout hit “Mhm Mhm” reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Dance Club Chart and topped Shazam charts across multiple countries. Known for his hypnotic deep-house sound, cinematic atmosphere, and pop-leaning hooks, Riva brings a sleek international polish to Umada, perfectly complementing Adamz’s vocal performance and artistic direction.

Great Adamz enters this release with strong momentum. His single “Jeje” recently reached #1 on Music Week’s Black Music Chart, reinforcing his growing global presence. With a catalogue spanning Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and crossover sounds—alongside international performances and chart success—he continues to position himself as one of the UK’s most versatile Afro-fusion exports.

For Adamz, Umada represents growth, artistic freedom, and expanded range. Rather than remaining confined to one genre, he explores new sonic territories that bridge cultures, club scenes, and emotional connection—demonstrating a sound capable of traveling globally while staying rooted in authenticity.

The release is supported by a striking official music video and a targeted UK club campaign, positioning the track for strong editorial and dance-floor impact, including potential placement across major streaming playlists such as Tantra, Serotonin, and Melodic & Euphoric.

Beyond the single, fans will have the opportunity to experience Great Adamz live at his second UK headline show, the sold-out Hearts & Harmony Valentine Concert on 14 February 2026 in Northampton, United Kingdom. Featuring Great Adamz and The 99 Band, the intimate performance promises a close, immersive musical experience.

Ultimately, Umada is more than a release—it is a statement of versatility, confidence, and global ambition, uniting two internationally resonant artists in a sound built for both emotional depth and dance-floor connection.

“Umada” is available now on all streaming platforms.
