It is with deep sorrow and profound respect that we at the IREPRESENT Documentary Film Festival acknowledge the passing of 𝗧𝗮𝗺 𝗙𝗶𝝾𝗳𝝾𝗿𝗶, a legendary Nigerian photographer, filmmaker, and author. Tam Fiofori, who departed this world on June 25, 2024, was a monumental figure in the documentary ecosystem of Nigeria. His enduring influence and unwavering support for the IREP docufilm festival have left an indelible mark on our community.

Born in 1942, Tam Fiofori's illustrious career spanned over several decades, during which he profoundly shaped the narrative of Nigerian and African stories through his lens and words. His contributions to documentary filmmaking and photography were not just artistic expressions but powerful commentaries on society, culture, and history.
Tam's dedication to the IREPRESENT Documentary Film Festival was nothing short of inspirational. His presence at nearly every single edition of our festival was a testament to his commitment and passion for the craft. Even in his later years, he continued to submit new work, demonstrating his relentless creativity and his desire to capture the ever-evolving stories of our times.

Tam Fiofori's legacy is one of brilliance, innovation, and an unyielding spirit. He not only chronicled history but also inspired a new generation of filmmakers and photographers to pursue truth and authenticity in their work. His absence will be deeply felt, but his influence will continue to guide and inspire us.

As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate his life and work. We are eternally grateful for the time, talent, and wisdom he shared with us. May his soul rest in perfect peace, and may his legacy continue to illuminate the path for future storytellers.
Rest in peace, ‘Uncle Tam.’ You will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.
