James Gardiner, Deputy Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority (NFA), has provided an update on plans to revive government-owned cinemas in Ghana. The initiative aims to expand film exhibition centers throughout the country and has garnered attention from the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie.
Discussions on funding and partnerships to restore these cinemas have taken place, though specific details have not been disclosed ahead of an official announcement. Mr. Gardiner confirmed that significant groundwork has been completed and that the plan is in capable hands. He emphasized that the lack of exhibition facilities has hindered Ghana's film industry, making the revival of these cinemas a crucial step toward improving access to locally produced films.
While optimistic about future developments, he did not provide a timeline for the reopening of the facilities or specify which cinemas would be restored first.
