Kunle Remi Reveals Why Some Films Aren’t Worthy of the Big Screen
Actor Kunle Remi has shared his expert views on what separates cinema-worthy films from those better suited for television.

In an exclusive interview with Hiptv News, Remi discussed the common misconceptions surrounding the term “cinematic” and highlighted the essential qualities required for a film to truly earn its place in cinemas.

Remi pointed out that many filmmakers and audiences often confuse TV-quality productions with genuine cinematic experiences. He emphasized that true cinema requires a specific level of quality, style, and effort.

He praised director Kunle Afolayan’s work as a prime example of cinema-worthy filmmaking, noting that Afolayan’s dedication to the craft might not translate as effectively to TV film direction. Remi explained,

“Not everybody understands what cinema is. I don’t think a lot of people understand it in the first place, that is why you have a low-budget film put in the cinemas when it’s not even cinema-worthy. And you see people come for you. There is a difference between a cinematic film and a film for TV.”

“The moment Nigerians and filmmakers understand that we won’t be having this conversation. Kunle Afolayan for example, does cinema if you look at the quality of his project, the style and effort put into it are cinema. If he does TV films, he might not do so great because he is probably focused or trained to do cinema films.”

“TV films are maybe cable films or online TVs and you can tell this was done in 5 days. I’m an actor and I can tell. Sometimes I’m doing a film and they tell me, it’s for the cinemas and I laugh. I know I’m not supposed to but, it’s funny.

I can’t discourage anyone cos it might be a starting point for some people do not be angry if people come for you or movie lovers share opinions of your film or critics talk about it cos you can’t then compare it to a Hollywood production.”
