The Africa Cinema Summit in 2024 will be hosted by Kpekpo Maxwell Justice, also referred to as KMJ, co-host of Joy Prime’s morning show.
This year’s tournament is scheduled for October 7–10, 2024.
Filmmakers from twenty African nations travelled to Ghana for the inaugural summit last year, where they participated in a variety of talks about the development of the film industry on the continent.
The goal of this year’s edition is to promote cooperation, creativity, and long-term growth while further solidifying the advancements achieved in the African film industry.
“Growth in quality of local content production and consumption driving the case for increased cinema investment” is the theme of the 2024 summit.
High-profile dignitaries are expected to attend the second edition of the Africa Cinema Summit, which will take place at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra. Among them is King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse.

Elba, a Golden Globe winner and chairman of the IE7 and The Akuna Group, is joined on the front row by Andrew Kofi Egyapa Mercer, Ghana’s Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, and Fiona Lamptey, a former Netflix executive and co-founder of Juno Studios.
“The Relevance of Cinema in African Communities” is the summit’s subject.
