AREEL is an Annual
International Cinema Award presented by Acheampong Magazine held in Kumasi, Ghana to recognize, honor and celebrate filmmakers involving African Creatives and or African contents for their outstanding achievements.

Our maiden edition received over 57 entries, which was in line with our goal. From there we divided the entries in different categories, and on a quarterly basis we host a screening titled  “AREEL Shorts & Animation” before our final screening and award show, “The AREEL”.

The AREEL Shorts and Animation is an independent platform for people to enjoy films, network and discover new talents. A percentage of the tickets sold is dedicated to supporting  young talents kick start their careers in filmmaking.

Our ’Actors Studio’, was created to support young actors in developing and honing their craft. Each year selected young actors are given the opportunity to interact with and learn from top Casting Directors, Filmmakers, and industry executives.
