Abstract
This paper takes a look at how Nigerian video-film can convey meanings through cultural images, visuals, symbols and archetypal models. This is significant because images and symbols construct instant messages into the consciousness of man from the unconscious. Therefore signs and images affect the appreciation and understanding of films. The paper believes that cultural parameters are central and crucial to filmic interpretation and perception. The paper notes that there is a strong need to evolve cultural viewing models that can ensure that we as Nigerians view our films in a way that they can make meaning to us, not to watch Nigerian movies with Euro Asian or Euro-American cultural biases or paradigms in which case we lose meanings and essence. Archetypal analysis and interpretation of Nigerian cultural idioms, signs, images and patterns is without doubt an effective strategy to understanding Nigerian video-film.
