The National Film Authority announced winners of the Creation Africa and CLAP ACP2 Co-production Grant office at the Accra Tourist Information Center on Tuesday, June 25.
The recipients included Driving Park Limited who received €80,000 for their project ‘A Dream to Die For which tackles illegal mining; Adjoa Films winning €5,000 for their film ‘Regulated Minds, a film which explores the vulnerability of men and mental health; and Midnight Run Productions also taking €5,000 for their project titled ‘Tantra, a horror film about night life in Accra.
Explaining how the three film projects were selected in an interview with Accra-based Joy FM, NFA CEO Juliet Asantewaa said “we put out a call after we thought that we had enough to start and a lot of productions came through. But we were looking at specific things and key among them was co productions.”
