Ghanaian-American filmmaker Leila Djansi has voiced concerns regarding the National Film Authority’s (NFA) recent request for public donations to support the Ghana Film Fund. Djansi argues the fund’s focus should be on attracting investment, not relying on charitable contributions from the public. She believes a sustainable film industry requires a model based on financial returns and outside investment, not public handouts. This critique raises questions about the NFA’s fundraising strategy and the long-term viability of the Film Fund. Djansi’s comments spark debate about the appropriate financial structure for Ghana’s film industry, pushing for a more professional and investment-driven approach. The filmmaker suggests the NFA should prioritize demonstrating the fund’s potential for profitability to attract investors. This controversy highlights the challenges facing the growth of the Ghanaian film industry and the need for innovative funding solutions.
