Emmanuel Anyiam-Osigwe steps down as British Urban Film Festival director

British Urban Film Festival founder Emmanuel Anyiam-Osigwe is stepping down after 2 terms and 16 years at the helm. Anyiam-Osigwe will be succeeded by London-based actor Justin Chinyere (Venus vs Mars, No Shade) who officially assumed his post last month and played a key role in hosting last year’s virtual edition of the festival on Apple TV.
The announcement was made at an event hosted by Anglia Ruskin University where Anyiam-Osigwe was the guest speaker for Black History Month.
Chinyere has long been identified as Anyiam-Osigwe’s successor since the entrepreneur was honoured by Her Majesty The Queen for services to the Black and ethnic film industry in March 2020.
