Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has emphasised the need for greater professionalism, sustainable investment, and strategic positioning of African stories to enable the continent’s film industry to compete effectively on the global stage.
Speaking at the maiden Regal Film Festival and Awards (REFFA) 2025 in Accra, she highlighted the importance of telling African narratives with purpose, depth, and excellence while maintaining cultural authenticity.
“Our stories are rich, authentic, and powerful, but they must be told with the excellence they deserve if we are to claim our rightful place in the global film industry,” she said.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang also urged investors and key stakeholders to adopt a long-term approach to supporting the creative arts, noting that the film industry has the potential to generate employment, strengthen cultural diplomacy, and contribute significantly to economic growth.
