The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, is among the dignitaries to attend the second edition of the Africa Cinema Summit slated from 7th to 10th October 2024 at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel.
The Summit is a three-day event organized by the National Film Authority (NFA) for various stakeholders from the cinema industry value chain across the world.
It will focus on the challenges and opportunities that the African Cinema space offers. The summit will be unique as it is the first of its class to be held in Africa.
