Acclaimed actor Idris Elba is set to be the star attraction at the upcoming Africa Cinema Summit, scheduled for October 7-10, 2024, at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra, Ghana.
This summit, now in its second year, is a pivotal three-day event that unites global cinema industry stakeholders with a focus on Africa. It stands out as the first of its kind on the continent, addressing the unique aspects, challenges, and vast opportunities within the African cinema landscape.
Last year’s inaugural summit successfully attracted filmmakers from 20 African nations, facilitating important discussions on advancing cinema in the region. The 2024 gathering aims to build on this foundation by promoting collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development in the industry.
This year’s agenda emphasizes enhancing the quality of local content production and consumption, advocating for greater investment in African cinema. On September 30, 2024, the National Film Authority (NFA), the summit’s organizing body, announced Elba’s participation via an Instagram post, highlighting the event’s goal to connect industry leaders and shape the future of African cinema.
“Idris Elba will headline Ghana’s National Film Authority’s second annual Africa Cinema Summit, scheduled to take place in Accra from October 7 to 10. The event promises to bring industry leaders together to discuss and shape the future of African cinema.” The post read
