Two Ghanaian filmmakers screened their film shorts at The London Pan-African Film Festival's (PAFF) Monthly Screenings at the West Norwood Picturehouse earlier this month.
US-based Ghanaian Kobina de Graft-Johnson is the cinematographer and producer behind ‘Barely Made’.
Directed by Eric Dickens Jr and Shantelle Duah, the film opens with first-generation Ghanaian Adwoa contemplating her future after being fired from her corporate job in New York City.
The second film, produced, co-directed and starring British-Ghanaian Anniwaa Buachie is called ‘Moon Over Aburi'.
The film short is based on story written by the Emmy award-winning Dr Kwame Dawes which follows the story of a woman and man and their connection to a gruesome murder.
The film, which is co-directed by Sheila Nortley, is a collaboration by an all-Ghanaian team, and explores the role of a woman in a corrupt lawless society.
“It’s important to see high-quality content coming out of the diaspora,” Anniwaa told the audience at West Norwood Picturehouse.
Kobina added: “The evening, filled with laughter, applause, and engaging discussions, highlighted the audience's keen interest in the future of African cinema.
"The success of the screenings underlines the importance of platforms like the London PAFF Monthly Screenings in bringing diverse and dynamic African stories to a wider audience.”
