Cinema of Ghana also known as the Ghana Film Industry nicknamed Ghallywood,[1] began when early film making was first introduced to the British colony of Gold Coast (now Ghana) in 1923. At the time only affluent people could see the films, especially the colonial master of Gold Coast.[2][3][4] In the 1950s, film making in Ghana began to increase.[5][6][7][8] Cinemas were the primary venue for watching films until home video became more popular.[sources 1] The movie industry has no official name as yet since consultations and engagements with stakeholders has been ongoing when a petition was sent to the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture which suspended the use of the name Black Star Films.[17]
