A Kiki Gyan Movie is Finally Coming and We Are So Ready
- The legendary Ghanaian musician Kiki Gyan is getting a documentary.
- Locarno Open Doors selects six African projects this year.
- A four-year spotlight on African cinema is in full swing.
We just saw some news that made us want to turn up the volume. A documentary about the legendary Ghanaian musician Kiki Gyan is officially happening! It was just picked for the Locarno Open Doors program.
Have you heard his music? He was a keyboard genius. Pure talent. Locarno is currently in the second year of a four-year cycle focused on Africa. They chose six projects from ten different countries this time around.
As art grads, we are obsessed with the vibe of the 70s African music scene. It is all about warm colors. Retro patterns. A very specific vintage aesthetic. We can already imagine how beautiful this film will look on the big screen.
While we wait for 2026, there is plenty of other drama to catch up on. Like, Wait, Did Parul Gulati Just Get Engaged?! That Ring Is HUGE! Seriously, our eyes are still hurting from the sparkle.
Or if you are more into the YouTube world, you might want to sit down for this. Wait, What?! KSI is Leaving The Sidemen?! It feels like everything is changing at once.
Speaking of things being watched, we have some questions for the censors. Did the CBFC REALLY need to watch ‘Obsession’ before us? Sometimes the rules just don’t make sense to us.
Our Take
Kiki Gyan was a superstar who lived life at full speed. His story is colorful and heartbreaking all at once. We think it is wonderful that his legacy is being shared with a global audience. 2026 feels like a long wait, but for a story this good, it will be worth it.
