The National Film Authority (NFA) has cautioned persons purporting to be filmmakers and 'engaging in the unlawful act of shooting pornographic movies in Ghana' to refrain from such act since it is a criminal offence punishable by the full force of the law.
The NFA, an agency under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture made this statement in the wake of social media auditions being advertised to lure innocent Ghanaians into the porn industry.
A statement issued by its Executive Secretary, Ms Juliet Yaa Asantewaa Asante, on 23 November 2020, indicated that “the production and distribution of pornographic films go against Section 20 and 28 of the Development and Classification of Film Act 935; and Sections 280 and 281 of the Criminal Offences Act 29”.
