Africa’s Premier Virtual Cinema: The Circuits Proof
The Story of a New Cinematic Era
Africa’s story has always been extraordinary born from rhythm, faith, and imagination.
But today, it is not just being told; it is being streamed, shared, and celebrated across the world.
At the heart of this transformation stands Circuits: Africa’s first, biggest, and premier virtual cinema.
Circuits is not a streaming platform.
It is a revolution, a digital theatre built by Africans, for Africa, and for the world.
What Makes Circuits the First
Unlike global streaming giants built on subscription models, Circuits pioneered a virtual cinema experience where viewers purchase digital tickets, just like walking into a theatre.
This model, known as TVOD (Transactional Video on Demand), restores the value of intentional watching, giving audiences choice while ensuring filmmakers earn directly from every view.
Circuits became the first legally recognised and Nigeria-registered virtual cinema, operating under the Companies and Allied Matters Act and granted Pioneer Status by the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council (NIPC): an honour reserved for innovations that redefine industries.
With this, Circuits officially stands as Africa’s Premier Virtual Cinema, a title verified by national and global institutions and echoed by major media houses including BusinessDay, ThisDay Live, and NAN News.
Streaming Africa to the World: Our Global Footprint
In less than a year since launch, Circuits has reached audiences across 189 countries, streaming millions of hours of African stories to viewers on every continent.
From Lagos to London, Luanda to New York, and Cape Town to Cairo, Circuits connects Africa’s creators to global audiences through:
* Multi-device access: iOS, Android, Smart TVs, and web browsers.
* Data-efficient playback: Optimised for Africa’s mobile-first ecosystem.
* Lightweight design: Accessible even in regions with limited connectivity.
Today, Circuits holds one of the largest African film catalogues, spanning Nollywood, East African cinema, Francophone films, and diaspora stories; making it the biggest indigenous digital cinema platform in Africa.
A Platform of Firsts and Global Recognition
Circuits have continually expanded what a virtual cinema can do:
* Hosted Africa’s first livestreamed comedy show (AY Live, April 2025).
* Premiered award-winning African films like Lisabi, The Blacksmith, Asiri Ade, and The Passenger’s Diary.
* Featured in over 50 global film festivals through creators who distribute via Circuits.
* Achieved millions of verified global streams, reinforcing its leadership as Africa’s most-watched pay-per-view platform.
Every milestone is proof that Circuits doesn’t just host cinema, it creates history.
Empowering Creators, Preserving Value
Circuits was designed to correct decades of imbalance in the creative economy.
Through transparent pay-per-view royalties, anti-piracy protection, and data sovereignty, every African filmmaker finally owns the value of their work.
Revenue stays on the continent. Creators see their numbers. Audiences fund the art that moves them.
Circuits merges artistry and accountability, ensuring that African storytelling becomes both sustainable and globally respected.
A Digital Cinema with a Human Heart
For every filmmaker uploading their first short film,
For every family watching together after work,
For every diaspora viewer longing for home, Circuits is the bridge.
It is not about technology alone.
It is about belonging: making sure Africa’s voice is heard clearly, confidently, and continually.
From the bustling streets of Lagos to living rooms in London and Los Angeles, Circuits has become more than a platform; it is a movement.
A revolution that proves Africa is not catching up, Africa is leading.
