Nigerian filmmaker James Abinibi is known for his thought-provoking films that entertain while tackling pressing societal issues. His latest project, One Gidi Night, is set for cinema release on September 11, 2026.
Distributed by Film One Entertainment, the film boasts a stellar cast including Wunmi Toriola, Uzor Arukwe, Gabriel Afolayan, Idia Aisien, Ibrahim Yekini ‘Itele’, Kelvin Ikeduba and others.
The premiere of One Gidi Night is scheduled for September 10, 2026, at the Silverbird Galleria on Victoria Island. Written, produced and directed by James Abinibi, the film explores themes of pressure, survival and the choices people make when life pushes them to their limits.
Abinibi explained his fascination with the idea that a single ordinary night could drastically change a person’s life. Lagos, with its unpredictable nature, provided the perfect setting for this story.
The city is a place where millions of lives intersect daily, where opportunity and danger coexist.
Ultimately, One Gidi Night poses a simple question: how far can a good person be pushed before survival fundamentally alters them?
