The Regal Film Festival and Awards launched at Accra to celebrate African movies and storytelling. REFFA wants to become Africa's premier cinema event that honors filmmakers across the continent. Festival Executive Director Selassie Ibrahim says African films from Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Kenya and South Africa deserve worldwide recognition. The event will help emerging creators gain global visibility for their amazing stories. REFFA represents a movement to elevate African film rather than just another celebration.
The festival runs for four days with movie screenings, panel discussions and masterclasses. Cultural exhibitions will showcase African heritage before the grand awards ceremony happens. Filmmakers from Africa and diaspora communities can participate through submissions. The organizers want creative exchange and international partnerships to grow from this event. African film needs positioning as both cultural treasure and commercial powerhouse.

Submissions start July 10 through FilmFreeway platform for various categories. Feature films, animation, documentaries, comedy and short films can compete for awards.
