Leila Djansi questions NFA's appeal for Film Fund donations
Leila Djansi criticized the National Film Authority's (NFA) appeal for public donations to the Ghana Film Fund in a Facebook post. She argued that the fund should generate investment rather than rely on public contributions, stating, "A Film Fund should be an investment that generates more investment, not a charity that begs for donations."
Djansi also questioned why the NFA was asking Ghanaians to donate instead of using the government's allocation to generate more money. She rejected the idea that YouTube could serve as the industry's long-term economic solution, stating, "YouTube is a platform. It is not an industry. It will not replenish a government film fund." Djansi further advised against modeling Ghana's film industry on Nigeria's, citing differences in population, celebrity ecosystem, distribution network, and audience size.
