The workshop, market pitch and festival selection document different kinds of activity.
The workshop worked across three formats
Annecy’s account of the five-day Accra workshop lists Talata and Soan as features, Asantewaa and Fa Ma )Mo as series, and Abrefi Koto, a Father’s Joy as a short. Mifa worked with the French cultural institutes in Paris and Ghana. The stated purpose was to develop projects and prepare pitches. Source 1
The Annecy schedule shows a market pitch
Tales from Ghana was scheduled for 13 June 2023 from 11:00 to 12:15 in the partner-pitch programme. The organisers link the Accra workshop to those pitches. The published schedule records the opportunity to present projects at the market. Financing agreements and delivery dates require separate evidence. Source 1 Source 2
Market registration describes organisations
Ten rows in the official company register list Ghana. Three are tagged as animation studios and three as production companies. The other entries include a video game studio, an advertising agency, an administration and an education organisation. An organisation can contribute to a market without being one of the five workshop projects. Source 3
A later selection records a finished film
Annecy’s 2025 Perspectives programme lists Blinded by the Lights, a 13-minute 30-second Ghanaian short directed by Francis Y. Brown and produced by AnimaxFYB Studios. The studio appears in the earlier market register. The short has its own credits and selection record, separate from the five-project workshop list. Source 4 Source 3 Source 1
