Internet film subscription and streaming services will allow a global audience to view African film and music content, which may otherwise never get formal distribution.

For a monthly fee of $5 (about R50), a wide collection of Nollywood films is available from film-subscription service iROKOtv.

Dobox, a web-based pay-per-view video service, has a selection of African films available to rent, stream or purchase and contains a library of current and popular content from movies, series and documentaries to cartoons, live events and music videos.

Confusion Na Wa, 2013 Africa Movie Academy Award winner for best film, is among the premium cinema releases available for viewing. Directed by Kenneth Gyang, the story takes place on one day when the fates of different characters become intertwined in a series of events that lead to love, friendship, confusion and blackmail.

Some other recent titles in the collection include Tunde Kelani films: MAAMi, Arugba, and The White Handkerchief; South African drama Otelo Burning and the animated series African Tales.
