Support NAFTI to showcase its films
Loading ...The Dean of Studies at the National Film and Television Institute, NAFTI, Mrs. Vincentia Akweetey says the roles actors play in films should not be held against them. She said actors only imitate life situations. She noted that most actors who play some roles are sometimes frowned upon or criticised either by their family members or their viewers. Mrs. Akweetey said this during this year’s launch of the eighteenth NAFTI Students’ Film and Television Festival in Accra.
She said the festival whichis an annual event in the academic calendar of the Institute is organised by the Student’s Representative Council of NAFTI with assistance from the management of the Institute. Mrs. Akweetey explained that NAFTI trains people who stay behind the camera like the production managers, the script writers and the movie editors among others.
She said inspite of the progress made by NAFTI in educating the public through their outstanding and educative films, NAFTI is still facing the problem of lack of funds, lack of film policy and houses to act their films. She is therefore calling on the government, private organisations and well meaning Ghanaians to support NAFTI with funding to show case their films on television. She is also calling on the government to help in the enactment of the film policy and that of pirating.
