The selected winner will also receive a tailored support from AiF and Creation Africa Ghana team to prepare them well enough for the pitching in France.
The 6th edition of Accra Indie Filmfest (AiF) is scheduled for 29th July to 3rd August 2024 under the theme of “Africa to the World, the World to Africa” and it promises to be a landmark event in Ghana’s film industry.
