WE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! TWO DIKALO AWARDS FOR KAKANDA!

We are delighted to announce that our film, KAKANDA, has achieved another remarkable international success at the 2026 Pan-African Film Festival in Cannes, France.

KAKANDA won Best Feature-Length Fiction, while our lead actress, Amina A. Shehu (Lu’ulu), received the prestigious Best Actress Award for her outstanding performance as Mairama.

KAKANDA was written by Khalid Musa, directed by Toka McBaror and produced by Ahmad Sarari.

The festival took place from 21 to 25 October 2026, and the honours were presented as part of the prestigious DIKALO Awards.

This international recognition belongs to the entire cast and crew whose dedication brought this important story to life.

We remain committed to taking Kannywood, Hausa cinema and our rich cultural heritage to the global stage.

Congratulations to the entire KAKANDA family!
