Ghana's National Film Authority is conducting a systematic tour of abandoned cinema facilities across the country, visiting former exhibition spaces to assess their condition and potential for rehabilitation. The initiative is part of a broader push to revive the nation's theatrical exhibition infrastructure, which has deteriorated significantly over the past two decades.
The tours represent a recognition that cinema infrastructure is not merely a business concern but a strategic asset for film distribution, audience development, and the broader creative economy. For African filmmakers, theatrical exhibition remains a critical pathway to revenue and visibility, particularly for films that do not secure international distribution deals or streaming platform acquisitions.
