A warm Ghanaian crowd-pleaser

The Fisherman brings humour, magical realism and coastal Ghanaian life into the programme, balancing the heavier films with joy and imagination.

Not every festival moment needs to be heavy. The Fisherman brings colour, humour and magical realism to the programme while staying rooted in Ghanaian coastal life.

It gives the weekend a warmer, more playful rhythm and creates space for audiences of different ages and backgrounds to enter the programme.
