The National Film Authority (NFA) of Ghana and Silverbird Cinemas are the other supporting institutions of the event, which aims to consolidate the progress made in the African cinema industry.

It is the second consecutive time the country is hosting the event after the 2023 edition, which achieved notable results, particularly emphasised by the President’s assurance to approve the Film Tax Incentive for the Ghanaian film industry.

Collaborative ventures were also successfully established among African countries, with the Filmhouse Group committing to distribute Ghanaian films across Nigeria and other partner nations.

This year’s Summit will be held from October 7 to 10, 2024, at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra, on the theme “The Relevance of Cinema in African Communities.” It will focus on promoting collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth in the cinema industry.

Ms Juliet Yaa Asantewa Asante, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the NFA and Convener of the Summit, said “Africa’s cinematic prowess is undeniable, yet remains largely untapped.”
