The AMAA screening committees and jury had worked assiduously behind the scenes to see movies that were submitted for consideration.

Various African filmmakers have refined their works and have tried to produce exceptional movies that could compete on the biggest movie platforms in the world.
They are not only learning the arts of good filmmaking but also using high-quality equipment and focusing on-out-of-the ordinary African stories that Africans can relate to.
To a larger extent, there is no doubt that technically good movies were produced within the last year.
It is believed that organizers have taken note of the errors it had encountered within the last eight years of AMAA organisation and improve upon it.
This year’s nomination will be released via a huge party in Malawi on Friday, March 15 and the question lingering on the minds of Africans is which African movie will top the nominations?
Last year, South African movies ‘Otelo Burning’ and ‘How to Steal 2 Million’ and Nigerian movie ‘Adesuwa’ garnered the most nominations for the award ceremony which was held in Lagos on April 22, 2012.

Entries from America, Canada, France, Germany, Guadalupe, Italy, Jamaica, and the UK also got nominations. AMAA received 328 entries from across Africa, up from 220 in 2011.
These included 134 feature films, 88 short films, 57 documentaries and six animations.
