Collywood, CAMFILMS, Cam Mungo Films are names proposed by Cameroon Film
Industry (CFI) delegates at the Yaounde
convention that held recently. One of these names will be retained after the
Ministry of Culture would have studied the CFI file containing the report of
the meeting. It is then that resolutions taken at the various meetings of film
makers would be implemented. However, branding of the industry was not what
preoccupied delegates at the Yaounde
convention. The film makers agreed that professionalisation was their main
goal. “This can only be achieved if we consider specialisation,” said Waa Nkeng
Musi, national co-ordinator of CFI. Already, film makers have broken themselves
up into sections; producers, directors, actors, script writers, technicians.
They are meeting in the various groups and will converge on Kumba in the coming
weeks to form guilds.
The Yaounde
convention was attended by film makers from Bamenda, Buea, Limbe and Kumba.
Other delegates came from Europe. Among the
speakers were renowned film maker Basseck Ba Khobio, CRTV’s director of fiction,
Christopher Selambi and Among Youths’
Ernest Kanjo.
