Cordelia
New York African Film Festival 2023
May 10 - 16, 2023
Cordelia, an adaptation of Femi Osofisan’s novella of the same title, is a compelling drama period of human intrigues set in Nigeria in the early 1990s during the years of military rule.
Goga Clay in person for Q&A
Adapted from the eponymous novel by Nigerian author and poet Femi Osofisan, Cordelia is a romantic period-drama where romance meets politics. This novella starts with a lecturer in a disturbed state about his marriage, which is resulting in an inability to teach his students. One of them later confronts him in his office about his shoddy lecture, and the student in question is accompanied to the lecturer’s office by another student named Cordelia. But little does our lecturer know that Cordelia is about to be at the center of a major riot at the institution.
