Silent Disco (2024)

Africadelic Festival presents the première of the latest Nollywood film by Chris Odeh, who will be present for a Q&A and before the film will talk about his new book 'Before You Say Action', a hand book for aspiring film makers.

In Silent Disco Bobby uncovers Dr. Pops' deceitful schemes amidst the glamour of The Shrine's exclusive house party, triggering a deadly chain of events. Threatened with exposure, Dr. Pops orchestrates Bobby's demise, framing it as an accident. Chaos erupts as Richy Songs stumbles upon the truth, leading to a fatal confrontation. Inspector Wike's investigation uncovers a web of corruption, implicating Dr. Pops and Detective Nse. With Bobby's phone revealing damning evidence, justice prevails, sealing the fate of the guilty parties. In the aftermath, The Shrine's once-glamorous facade crumbles, exposing the darkness lurking within its walls.
