Kilani Clocks 67, Invites Fans To The Cinema

Nollywood director and founder of
Mainframe Production, Tunde Kilani,
marks his 67 birthday on Thursday in style as he takes to the cinema.

Popularly known as TK, the filmmaker and story teller took to his social media platform (Google+) to invite his fans to the cinema for the viewing of ‘Dazzling Mirage’, one of his 2014 drama film.

Kilani is also a film producer who
specialises in producing movies that
promote Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage and have a root in documentation, archiving, education, entertainment and promotion of the culture.

With a career in the film industry – home and abroad – for more than four decades, Kilani is known for his love of adaptation of literary material into movies as most of his works have followed that style of filmmaking A few example of this filmmaking style include Thunder Bolt, Ko se Gbe, Maami, Oleku, The Narrow Path, and White
handkerchief.

Consequently, his love for culture could be traced his extended habitation with his grandparents in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, since his early age.

No denial therefore that the rich
Yoruba culture and tradition he
experienced in his early years, coupled with the experience he garnered at the London Film School where he studied the art of filmmaking, prepared him for what
he is doing today.

Born in Lagos on February 26, 1948,
Kilani is an outstanding cinematographer who has worked as a BBC TV and Reuter’s correspondent with many Nigerian TV stations inclusive.

On Google+ on Wednesday night, Kilani said: “Thank God it’s my birthday tomorrow! Let’s meet at the cinemas to celebrate it with ‘Dazzling Mirage’. God bless you all.”

Thus, he is inviting his fans to Ozone
Cinema in Yaba on Thursday for the
birthday proper and on Friday, it is
FilmHouse Cinema in Surulere, both in Lagos state to see Kemi ‘Lala’ Akindoju, Kunle Afolayan, Seun Akindele, Bimbo Manuel and Yomi Fash Lanso in ‘Dazzling Mirage.
