Ghanaian Kumawood actor LilWin has drawn heavy criticism on social media after questioning the absence of a Twi session during the National Film Dialogue organized by the Ghana Film Authority at the University of Ghana on September 16, 2025. The dialogue, themed “Accelerating Industry Development,” was conducted entirely in English.

LilWin argued that not all veteran filmmakers present could understand English, limiting their ability to contribute meaningfully. He suggested holding sessions in both Twi and English to allow everyone to participate fully.

However, many social media users slammed his comments, noting that implementing a Twi session could exclude non-Twi speakers and limit the event’s international relevance. Critics emphasized that English, as Ghana’s official language, is essential for bridging the gap to the global film market and that actors should make the effort to learn it.

Some questioned whether LilWin had been prohibited from using his dialect at the dialogue, while others dismissed his suggestion as unnecessary given the global nature of filmmaking.
