Jacqueline Nsiah, a member of the Festivals Selection Committee, spoke in a slot about empowering local filmmakers.
She started her work for the Festival last summer and has bolstered its connections with the African film community.

I dont think you could be built on streamers as a sustainable strategy for your own company.
Wayne Borg, Managing Director, Media Industries, at Saudi Arabia-based media hubNeom, shared a different perspective.

Im definitely in favor of trying to find local ways of accessing funding, she said.
