The President of Ndiva Women’s Film Festival, Aseye Tamakloe has lamented on the limited attention given to women in the Ghanaian film industry.

Speaking to Pulse.com.gh, Aseye Tamakloe bemoaned the level of attention and support given to women saying: “There are women in the film industry but the level of recognition isn’t enough. Can you imagine what these women can achieve if given the necessary support? If two women can access funds, they can do a better film than what a single woman can do.”

She conceded that women in the film industry aren’t much but claims they are doing better and deserve some attention.

Aseye said: "Realistically, there are not enough women in the film industry.

"Film will forever be with us – we have done so much for film and we are still doing so much. If you check the statistics in Ghana, we find more women financing films lately but people hardly talk about it,” she concluded.

Aseye Tamakloe, on Saturday, June 24, launched Ghana's first women film festival, Ndiva Women's Film Festival.
