Kwaw Ansah, a celebrated pioneer in Ghana’s film industry, welcomed the delegation and shared his thoughts on the power of the audiovisual media in shaping the socio-cultural and economic transformation of the country. He emphasized the crucial role that film plays in preserving Ghana’s heritage, influencing societal values, and driving national development.
The Executive Secretary of the NFA, Kafui Danku-Pitcher, reiterated the significance of this engagement and highlighted the need for a collaborative approach to leadership. She stressed that learning from industry legends like Kwaw Ansah is essential to the Authority’s strategic agenda and underscored the NFA’s commitment to positioning Ghana’s film industry for growth, global competitiveness, and sustainability.
The Deputy Executive Secretary, James Gardiner, expressed deep appreciation for the opportunity to interact with Mr. Ansah. He stated that transformation through the audiovisual media starts from home and emphasized the need to be intentional about inculcating and projecting the Ghanaian language in content. Gardiner acknowledged the immense contributions Mr. Ansah has made to the industry and the importance of preserving the legacy of Ghanaian film pioneers while fostering an environment that nurtures emerging talents.
This visit marks the beginning of a broader consultative approach by the NFA to strengthen collaborations, harness institutional knowledge, and ensure that the Ghanaian film industry continues to evolve while staying true to its rich cultural heritage. Other key industry veterans such as King Ampaw, Rev. Chris Hesse, and Prof. Abequaye are also expected to be part of this ongoing dialogue.
