2026 Israeli Film Festival slated for Silverbird Cinema tomorrow

The Embassy of Israel in Ghana will hold the 2026 Israeli Film Festival tomorrow at the Silverbird Cinema at the Accra Mall.

The one-day event will feature both Israeli and Ghanaian films.  According to organisers the festival aims to promote cultural exchange and strengthen ties between the people of Ghana and Israel through cinema.

Admission is free. Film lovers can attend screenings at 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The programme includes the Israeli films The Milky Way and Matchmaking. It will also feature the Ghanaian films Smokes and Mirrors and Unfinished Ride.

Visitors will enjoy free popcorn and also have the chance to take part in a raffle.

The Culture Attaché at the Embassy of Israel in Ghana, Mrs Nitza Gilad, said the festival offers people the opportunity to learn about different cultures through film.

“We are very excited to welcome the Ghanaian public once again to the Israeli Film Festival. Film gives us an opportunity to enter one another’s worlds, experience different stories and discover the things we share despite our different backgrounds,” she said.

Mrs Gilad added that she was pleased to see Israeli and Ghanaian films being shown on the same platform. She invited students, filmmakers, families, young people and all lovers of cinema to attend the festival and enjoy the experience.

According to the organisers, last year’s festival was successful and helped provide a platform for emerging Ghanaian filmmakers while promoting cultural exchange.

This year’s event is expected to bring together audiences from different backgrounds for a day of storytelling, learning and entertainment.
