LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA, May 10, 2023\/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Elijah Washington<\/a> will attend Cannes Film Festival May 19 to screen “Alemanji<\/a>,” a film he executive produced with his brother Robert “Zay” Washington. The film is set to screen during the fourth edition of Pavillon Afriques. It is a coming-of-age comedy about first-generation African youth, Alemanji Fouka, and his journey to assimilate to American culture amid the warring cultural norms of his strict African parents. <\/p>\n \u201cAlemanji is a beautiful film that not only will have you laughing hysterically but will provide insight on the cultural disconnect between Africans who migrated to America and African Americans who are members of the diaspora. The film is set in the DMV area (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) and you will feel the east coast energy and swag throughout the project,” Elijah says. <\/p>\n The film stars Stamaur Mitchell (\u201cThe Devil You Know\u201d), Abdulazeem Dulo Harris (\u201cTales From the Big Apple\u201d) and Nnenna Ngwu. The film is directed by Chuckwunonso Angel Dureke. Executive producers are Elijah Washington, Robert \u201cZay” Washington, Lisa Osinloye, Simone White, Anu Fomengia and Nikkia Brown.<\/p>\n Elijah has several projects in development through his company Fire Rock Productions, in partnership with fellow \u201cAlemanji\u201d executive producer Lisa Osinloye of Ten Ten Global Media.<\/p>\n About Elijah Washington About Pavillon Afriques Samantha McCoy “Alemanji” trailer<\/p>\n \n
