The Executive Secretary of Ghana’s National Film Authority (NFA), Kafui Danku-Pitcher, has reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to fostering a thriving film industry under the government’s renewed agenda.
Speaking at the launch of the Black Star Experience in Accra on May 1, 2024, Danku-Pitcher expressed optimism about President John Dramani Mahama’s recent pledge to “open the door again” for the creative sector, ensuring sustainable growth.
“I was happy when I heard the president say, ‘I am going to open the door again and this time around, make sure somebody closes it.’
“I love that it means we have a task ahead to build on. To start off, we need the reset agenda and build on what we’re going to have. So, we have no choice but to make it work,” she told GhanaWeb’s Isaac Dadzie.
Danku-Pitcher also emphasised the NFA’s dedication to providing support for stakeholders in the Ghana movie industry, stating, “We’re going to do what it’s supposed to do. We’re regulators. We’re supposed to make everything comfortable in a very enabling environment for filmmakers to thrive. And that’s exactly what we are committed to.”
