Ghanaian producer Bella Agyeman took a major step onto the global stage in July 2026 when her film was officially screened at the Long Island International Film Expo (LIIFE) in New York.
The festival, one of the longest-running independent film events in the United States, brings together filmmakers from around the world and celebrates diverse storytelling.
Representing Alleb Productions Ltd, which she founded, Agyeman joined filmmakers from multiple countries in showcasing work that proved compelling stories can travel far beyond where they begin. What started as a dream in Ghana was received by international audiences on the big screen in New York.
The screening drew a positive response from audiences, fellow filmmakers, and industry professionals. It also created networking opportunities and conversations around the growing presence of Ghanaian cinema globally.
For Alleb Productions, the moment went beyond a single screening.
“This reinforced our vision: to create authentic African stories that resonate with audiences everywhere,” Bella Agyeman said.
She believes the experience is a statement that Ghanaian storytellers have a place in the global film industry, and that with the right support, African stories can continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

Ambassador Baba Sadiq noted that Ghana and Barbados share deep historical and cultural bonds, adding that the focus now is to translate that shared heritage into practical partnerships that connect people, unlock opportunities and strengthen Africa–Caribbean relations.
