This year marks the 19th edition of the Africa Movie Academy Awards and a media soirée was held on Sunday at the Ibis Style Hotel at the 1 Airport Square.
Actor, Kofi Adjorlolo who was present expressed his disappointment in Ghana for not getting a single nomination at this year’s event.
According to him, Ghana’s failure to secure a nomination at the continental film awards ceremony was shameful and testament to the fallen film standards in the country.
“Well I’m not happy. It doesn’t make me happy. And actually I should be ashamed. Apparently, I am not a filmmaker, I am not a producer, and this is so shameful. We have done films in this country since last year, most of the films are not up to standard. It clearly shows and this is it because if they were up to standard, AMAA will definitely nominate one or two films from Ghana,” he said.
He said the current generation of filmmakers does not have the wherewithal to produce good works for the silver screen hence their failure to secure a spot in the awards ceremony.
“Like I said, these young producers, they don’t have money to even produce quality movies. Movie making is money, they don’t have it so we don’t have any good movie and it’s true. If they’re telling us then it’s a shame,” he said.
