2nd edition of Africa Cinema Summit begins today in Accra

The second edition of the Africa Cinema Summit (ACS) begins today at the Movenpick Hotel in Accra.

Organised by the National Film Authority (NFA) of Ghana, the summit which begins from today, October 7 to October 10 is themed, “Is Cinema Relevant in African Communities?”

Legendary British actor and Chairman of the IE7&The Akuna Group, Idris Elba will headline this year’s summit with King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Mantse as Guest of Honour tomorrow, October 8.

Representatives from African countries including Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Angola are set to attend alongside executives from throughout the African diaspora and reps from investment bodies including Afreximbank and IFC.

At the launch of this year’s ACS earlier in June, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NFA, Juliet Asante, said Africa’s cinematic prowess was undeniable, yet remained largely untapped.

As such, the summit is poised to bridge this gap by fostering collaboration, innovation and sustainable growth in the African cinema industry.
