The African Movie Academy Awards, (AMAA) is an offshoot of the African Film Academy. The Academy founded on the best film tradition, is geared towards research, training and propagating film making in Africa.

Behind it are film producers, directors, designers, writers, critics and scholars who share in the belief of a renaissance African film.

AMAA is thus conceptualized as an annual celebration of the brightest and the best in African movie. It is about class and style, blitz, glitz and razzmatazz. It is the biggest gathering of movie makers across the African continent and the diaspora. It is to show to the world that the rating of Nollywood (Nigeria) as the third largest producers of movie is real.

The nominees for the 6th African Movie Academy Awards had been announced on last Saturday 6th March in Ghana. Among the list of films which chosen to the awards, was the animated film "Honayn's Shoe" directed by Mohamed Ghazala from Egypt.

The film story is about a man lost in the desert with his camel searching for a shoe.... Honayn's Shoe is production of Cinema Palace of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture 2009.

The awards ceremony is scheduled to be held on April 10, 2010 in Bayelsa State, Nigeria.
