A purpose-built, independent cinema is to be created in Ghana to host cinema programming with a focus on productions from and about the African continent and its diaspora, as well as foster a place for encounter and exchange for the next generation of African filmmakers. The wish to do so stems from the need to complement Ghana’s rapid growth across all sectors with a space for cineasts that can archive the industry’s rich past, while being home to critical and creative thinking about movie- making today. This cinema will contribute to an inspired exchange beyond blockbuster films.
