IN SHORT

Kwaw Paintsil Ansah is a living legend in the Ghanaian arts industry. After launching his own career as an award-winning filmmaker, he turned his efforts to increasing the visibility of artists across Africa. He plans to continue this work alongside the next generation: “Sometimes when you are a little old, you think you’re the alpha and omega, but don’t forget that the youth can revitalise your ideas. If you mix the two, you always feel young.”
