West Africa to meet South Africa through film

After premiering at the Cannes Film Festival earlier in May, ‘Potato Potahto’, a romantic comedy movie produced by Shirley Frimpong Manso will premiere at the 38th Durban International Film Festival on July 16, 2017 at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Durban.
‘Potato Potahto’ tells a story of a divorced couple who decides to share equal space in their ex-matrimonial home and soon realise that the ingenious idea is easier said than done. Bent on flexing their egos and scoring points, Tony (OC Ukeje) and Lulu (Joselyn Dumas) implore various hilarious tactics that soon inflames emotions and turns an already complicated situation into a roller coaster ride.
The film is a collaborative project between Ghanaian, Nigerian, British, French and Swedish film producers, who have co-produced with the aim to make African-made cinema more accessible to global markets. The film is a fantastic showcase of how international co-operation, talent and creativity can combine to give a wonderful and universally attractive film experience.
Potato Potahto is a co-production of Ascend Studios, WB Entertainment, 19 April Entertainment, Virgo Sun Ltd and Lufodo Productions. “The film has a fantastic creative team behind it and is definitely worth seeing and we look forward to a full house during the screenings on July 16 and 18 in Durban at the Film Festival,” said Inya Lawal, a film producer.
However, delegates at the 38th Durban International Film Festival and the general public will have the opportunity of meeting some of the cast and crew members of the star studded movie including; Shirley Frimpong-Manso, OC Ukeje, Joselyn Dumas, Joke Silva, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Lala Akindoju, Chris Attoh and Adjetey Anang.
