Silver bird Cinema to Promote African Movies

Accra, June 25 GNA - Silverbird Entertainment, a private cinema house, is promoting the screening of Ghanaian and other African movies to generate income for local movie producers. A statement signed by Brooke Nuwati, media relations officer of the house, said that any poor quality movie produced would not be shown at the cinema to encourage local movie producers to improve on their works

The statement said Shirley Frimpong's "Perfect Picture" was screened for over six weeks with fully filled halls every day because the movie actually broke "the box office at the time". "This is an indication that there is a high demand for local movies which Silverbird can help satisfy with the cooperation of movie producers," and added that Silverbird was committed to delivering first-rate services to clients.

"Silverbird is taking bold steps in the African retail entertainment market and the cinemas are legal and legitimate in terms of copyright and intellectual property rights, to ensure quality and security of what is put out there for Ghanaians on the silver screen."
