Who are you and why are you here?

I am Remi Kolawole, one half of the musical outfit REMI. I’m here because my parents put in work, I love movies as a means of enjoyment and escape and I was invited by MIFF to be a part of this staple event.

 What are the top three films you're looking forward to at this year's festival?

• Amazing Grace – Aretha Franklin
• Sampa the Great live-scoring Girlhood at Hear My Eyes
• Wu-Tang Clan: of Mics and Men by Sacha Jenkins

Tell us one of your guilty pleasure films?

Gladiator

And your all-time favourite film?

It changes week to week; right now it's Akira.

Which actor would play you in a film?

According to the kids at one of the programs I’m involved with, Nick Cannon haha
