In a bold and visionary move, the CEO of the National Film Authority (NFA), Kafui Danku-Pitcher, has sparked excitement across the Ghanaian entertainment industry with a powerful statement on her official Facebook page.
The post, shared, announced a recent courtesy visit to the Public Records and Archives Administration Department (PRAAD) by the NFA team, including Deputy Executive Secretary and popular actor James Gardiner.
But this wasn’t just a ceremonial gesture—it marked the beginning of what many are calling a historic partnership. The meeting focused on a groundbreaking initiative: the establishment of Ghana’s National Film Archive.
This ambitious project seeks to collect, preserve, and showcase Ghana’s cinematic treasures—from classic Kwaw Ansah films to contemporary blockbusters—ensuring that future generations can access and celebrate the country’s vibrant film history.
“This is more than a project; it’s a cultural revolution,” Danku-Pitcher wrote in her post. “Our stories deserve to be seen, remembered, and passed down. Ghana’s film heritage is a national treasure, and the time has come to protect it.”
The online community has responded with enthusiasm, with fans applauding the initiative.
With hashtags like #PreserveOurStories, #GhanaFilmArchive, and #FilmHeritageGH, Kafui Danku-Pitcher has ignited a much-needed conversation about memory, identity, and the future of storytelling in Ghana.
As momentum builds, all eyes are on the NFA and PRAAD to turn this vision into reality. One thing is certain—Ghana’s stories are finally getting the vault they deserve.
