Friday 3rd of August, 2018 saw the birth of the partnership between Zylofon Arts Fund (ZAF) and Watch & Dine Cinema at the Kumasi Mall.

The Ghanaian film industry is one that has the capacity to contribute meaningfully to the economy of Ghana and change the narrative of the culture of Ghanaians both home and abroad.

Unfortunately, the Ghana film industry has commercially experienced a downward trend for the past 10 years as such, industry experts and practitioners have yearned for an upward improvement but with no avail.

Zylofon Arts Fun, a subsidiary of Zylofon Group and an NGO, have for the past 4 months invested heavily into the film industry to experience the advent of a booming Ghanaian film industry and the spirit of cinemas.

Indeed, the ZAF Board has been working tirelessly to revamp the Creative Arts Industry by creating jobs and providing the enabling environment and build thr required structures to let our Film Producers produce quality movies to market, distribute and sell to generate decent revenues to bring the industry back on track.

Mr Kwabena Obeng is the CEO and Chairman of the group

As a result of this, ZAF has strategically partnered Watch and Dine Cinema in Kumasi, to come together and support the film Producers to premiere their movies and make good income. Secondly, a muatual agreement have been reached between these two (2) indigenous Ghanaian companies to build an indigenous national cinema network across the regional capitals.

The agreement therefore is;
40% Revenue share to Watch & Dine Cinemas and 60% Revenue share to Ghana Film Producers.

Watch & Dine Cinema is a indigenous Ghanaian first world-class cinema. The cinema has four executive state-of-the-art movie theatres, all fitted with deluxe furnishing and superior acoustics and image projection. It’s surround sounds at the cinema halls are par excellence.

Mr Osei Agyemang Duah is the Managing Director of the group

The Watch and Dine Cinema concept is an outright novelty worldwide and features a delightful fusion of the comfort and coziness of a plush movie theater, with the pleasure of nourishment derived from a top notch restaurant or eatery.

Watch and Dine Cinema is jointly owned by Mr. Kwabena Obeng (An Entrepreneur & President of Watch-and-Dine Cinema) and Mr. Osei Agyeman Dua (Businessman and Managing Director of Watch-and-Dine Cinema).

Historically, the partnership has seen the birth of the first Ghanaian cinema to cut their prices to film Producers and help lift the ailing film industry.
