The annual Port Harcourt Film Festival has opened for its new edition with organisers reporting a record number of entries from filmmakers across the Niger Delta and beyond.
This year's programme includes a dedicated showcase for short films exploring themes of environment and community, alongside the festival's established feature-length competition.
