The 2nd Annual National Film and Television Institute Lectures on the Ghanaian Motion Picture Industry organized a series of Panel discussions, workshops and film screenings, to facilitate research on the industry and provide a platform for students, academics, professionals and the public at large to share and exchange views on the industry. The NAFTI lectures were also intended to recognize and award film and TV producers who have contributed significantly to the development of the motion picture industry.
Film screenings were aimed at celebrating one of Ghana’s legendary film directors, King Ampaw. Thus films screened were films such as Juju, African Timber, Kukurantumi – Road to Accra, No Time to Die and Cobra Verde, taking us back to days of old and postcolonial Ghana, exploring themes such as slavery, a young and growing Accra, poverty in Accra and other such worthy themes.
The audience present had the chance to interact with King Ampaw and Peter Bringham during workshops discussing topics such as the opportunities, obstacles and the way forward in the Ghanaian Film Industry.
The Lectures were crowned off with an Award ceremony to award and recognize King Ampaw for his contribution to Ghanaian Film Industry.
