Some veterans in the film industry and AAGh Board at the meeting
The Chairman of the Animators Association of Ghana (AAGh) has called on stakeholders in filmmaking and entertainment to collaborate and revamp animation in Ghana.
During a recently held meeting in Accra, the Chairman of AAGh, Mr Samuel Quartey said, there were huge benefits for the filmmaking industry and the country at large if efforts were made to revamp the animation industry.
“We used to travel to other African and western countries to build their animation industry. It was a great experience over the decade and a proof that we, Africans, are capable of blazing new trails using animation and live action to tell our stories authentically.
“It is, therefore, imperative that we start building capacities of the young and vibrant content creators, animators to help us dominate internally and internationally with culturally relevant contents,” he said.
The meeting brought together key actors including filmmakers in the movie and filmmaking industry with respect to revamping animation in Ghana.
According to Mr Quartey, it was important to bring veterans on board to run workshops and trainings that would better enhance the narratives.
Also sharing his views, Communication Consultant, Bami Baker, from Sierra Leone said, he would do well to support and promote short animated and feature films from Ghana.
Other executives of AAGh at the meeting were Cycil Jones Abban, George Opare, Albert Tetteh Amafu and Kofi Kyei, a Filmmaker.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
