...WE EDUCATE AND EMPOWER WOMEN THROUGH CINEMA...

About Us

Founded in 2008, Royal Women in Cinema Ghana is a pioneering non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women in Ghana’s film and creative industry. Through mentorship, advocacy, and community engagement, we strive to build a gender-inclusive film space where women are inspired to lead, create, and innovate

The organization was established by Dzifa Agbetepey, a visionary actress and filmmaker, alongside Co-Founder Emmanuel Owusu Sarpong. Together, they have nurtured a dynamic network of women creatives who use cinema as a platform for storytelling, education, and social transformation.

At Royal Women in Cinema Ghana, we believe every woman’s story matters — and that through film, we can change perceptions, shape communities, and inspire future generations.
