About Us
The African Movie Channel, AMC is a leading supplier of African television programming and film from Africa’s leading film industry, Nollywood, and other African motion picture houses. We are also consultants and preferred content suppliers to a number of TV networks offering African programming. AMC has secured worldwide video-on-demand, IPTV and TV rights for over 1000 feature length films, and 100’s of hours of award-winning African drama series.
AMC has invaluable access to popular African content, and contacts in the African media industry, and has established strong content partnerships that will ensure that it consistently delivers or facilitates delivery of competitively priced content for use on any media. All content are in English, or sub-titled in English, and are available for licensing across any territory in the world.
AMC sources all movies and other content direct from the original master versions, thus guaranteeing exceptional audio and visual quality, far exceeding what consumers currently get with regular Video CD's or anywhere online.
Over the last few years, we have built up significant experience from identifying desirable content and negotiating for content rights directly with rights-owners or their representatives for use on our platform and for distribution via various media formats. We bring a clear understanding of what drives the often complex processes involved.
We have experience of working on major projects, and recently assisted a leading TV platform in sub-Saharan Africa in launching a dedicated African movies and series channel, and we were actively involved in the build and launch of another similar black channel in the USA.
AMC launched the first ever TV channel outside Africa (in the UK) dedicated to African movies from Nollywood (the very popular Nigerian film industry, and the third largest film industry in the world behind Hollywood and India’s Bollywood), and other major African motion picture houses in April 2006 on Tiscali TV. The channel launched online - www.africanmoviechannel.tv and has been available to viewers worldwide since May 2007. We are presently the only outfit in the world offering African movies on-demand at full-screen TV quality as standard anywhere in the world.
AMC continues to sign content agreements with various partners, and is also involved in movie distribution arrangements with top African movie rights-owners and film production houses.
