Ghana International Film Week Festival: 10 Veteran Actors To Receive Gh¢25k Worth Of Gold

The maiden edition of the Ghana International Film Week Festival has been launched at a colourful ceremony held on Thursday, June 14, 2018, at the Maxlot Hotel in Accra.

The theme for the event, which is scheduled for June 23- 30, 2018, is  “Rebuilding our Industry”, and it is expected to help bring together the stakeholders and government institutions to analyze the challenges of the movie industry and the way forward in rebuilding the Ghanaian film industry.

Ghana International Film Week Festival which is being put together by MKON Media will honour ten (10) veteran actors with Gh¢25,000 worth of Gold and citations sponsored by Zylofon Arts Fund for their contribution to the movie industry on June 30.

A member of the organizing team, Michael Ola disclosed that even though the idea of the festival came up in 2014, lack of sponsorship delayed its organisation.

According to him, “The honour is not based on votes or any form of nominations. It is about your work and achievement as a film maker or actor”.

Activities of the event include a three-day intensive workshop and training for the industry players in Tamale, Kumasi, Takoradi and Accra, which starts from June 23 and happens simultaneously with cleanup exercises, health screening and the blood donation exercises and a forum by the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Madam Catherine Afeku on Monday, June 25.

Among the personalities at the launch of the Film Week Festival were the president of FIPAG, Augustine Abbey popularly called Idikoko, President of the Film Crew Association and Director of Communications and Special Projects of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Ahumah Ocansey aka Daddy Bosco.
