    A Ghanaian film has achieved new heights with the debut of “The Fisherman” at the 81st Venice Film Festival.

    The film, directed by Zoey Martinson and produced by Kofi Owusu-Afriyie of Luu Vision Media, marked Ghana’s first-ever official selection at the prestigious festival.

    Although screening out of competition, the film took home the illustrious Fellini Medal, awarded by UNESCO’s Enrico Fulchignoni Prize, for embodying the values of peace and tolerance.

    Shot in Keta, in the Volta region, Ms Martinson’s narrative draws from her personal experiences, weaving a poignant tale of resilience, community, and coastal livelihoods deeply ingrained in Ghana’s heritage.

    The film boasts an all-star Ghanaian cast, including Ricky Adeleyitar, Endurance Grand, and Fred Amugi, alongside Nigerian actor Dulo Harris.

    Beyond its compelling storyline, “The Fisherman” shines with exceptional artistic craftsmanship, showcasing stunning cinematography, costume design, and production design.

    The film’s evocative score, composed by Avi Amon, perfectly complements its impressive visual effects.

    Producer Kofi Owusu-Afriyie expressed his pride, stating that “the Venice premiere was a surreal moment for us. To see this story resonate with people from diverse backgrounds is a triumph for Ghanaian cinema and the African film community.”

    Currently seeking distribution, “The Fisherman” is poised to make waves globally.

    Film critics hail it as a new standard for Ghanaian cinema, and its recognition at Venice marks a milestone for its creators and a proud moment for Ghana and the entire African film industry.
