    Official AAFF 2026 flyer honouring Kwaw Ansah with the Lifetime Achievement Award

    The Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival is a D.O.O.R. (Decade of Our Repatriation) event.

    Good event design does more than decorate an announcement. It establishes recognition, hierarchy, trust, and a clear path from attention to participation.

    Study how the approved flyer carries the honouree, the exact schedule, the National Theatre venue, and ticket options without separating form from cultural purpose. Preserve that system whenever you share the event.

    Verified AAFF 2026 schedule

    Online screenings: October 16–17, 2026.

    Awards ceremony: October 17, 2026, in the evening at the Exhibition Hall, National Theatre, Accra.
