‘Gold Coast’ makes good run in Denmark

‘Gold Coast,’ the international historical fiction shot in Ghana last year, is said to be doing well in cinemas across Denmark.

The production is a collaborative effort between Haslund Dencik Entertainment, a Danish film production company and inGenius Africa, producers of the ‘Sun City’, ‘Abiba’ and ‘Sunshine Avenue’ television series in this country.

In a chat with Messrs Kwame Boadi and Oliver Safo of inGenius Africa, they said communication with their colleagues in Denmark indicated that the film which was premiered in Copenhagen late last month and released onto more than 100 movie screens across Denmark, had aroused intense interest among cinema-goers.

Set in 1836, ‘Gold Coast’ is a fictional rendition of the life of Wulff Joseph Wulff, an idealist botanist sent to the shores of Gold Coast by the Danish King to set up coffee plantations.

Slavery had been abolished and the Danes were looking to other profitable ways to put their possessions.
