Efuru@50 was an event celebrating the first internationally published novel by an African woman writer, Efuru by Flora Nwapa. The film captures the five-city celebration in Nigeria in late 2016, with keynotes, papers, dramas and quizzes. It is based on ethnographic research by Paula Uimonen as part of the World Literatures research program. The full documentary will be screened in 2017 (29 minutes).
