Excellence: Cameroonian film is best at US festival
News / Latest / ??Ernest Kanjo??
••Tuesday•, 20 •November• 2012 03:16•

NINAS DIARY"Amazing!” Victor Viyouh, in deep emotion, pointed out. He went on: “I was thrilled that I it [Ninah's Dowry] was just accepted into the festival. Amazing!" According to Yibain Emile-Aime Chah aka Ancestor, Viyouh was reacting to the pronouncement of Nina’s Dowry as best film of the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF) in Florida, USA recently. Yibain who made the story available to us was cinematography for the project.

Selected for the 27th edition of the festival (said to be America’s oldest film festival), Nina’s Dowry caught the attention of the jury, convinced them and clearly distinguished itself. That’s how the Cameroonian feature film won the prize as the most valuable production for the 2012 edition.

Not only were the technical aspects of the production convincing, its artistic connotation spoke volumes to the jury. In a bid to reward excellence, the film’s lead character, Mbufung Seikeh bagged home the best actress in foreign film award. “This is more than I ever expected,” the director/producer expressed his feelings.

Shot in Sabga,( a small predominantly muslim settlement near Bamenda, headquarters of the North West region of Cameroon), Nina’s Dowry is written by Victor Viyouh. It exploits the theme of early/forced marriage, common in certain typically traditional societies in parts of Africa. Starring, Anurin Nwunembom, the film is edited by Andrew Groves. Cody Westheimer with Julia Newmann and Hollyamber Church provided the sound track. It is co-produced with Daniel Tan. TIPTOPSTARS will be conducting an exclusive interview with Los Angeles-based Viyouh who is one of Cameroon’s leading film makers in the diaspora. Watch out!

Even folks who are generally hesitant to hang out have stated emphatically that the day of November 17, 2012 will be different. “If you fail to hang out on that day, you would have failed to savour one of the greatest moments in the life of Cameroon’s fast-growing film industry,” a University of Buea TIPTOPSTARS fan told us during a telephone conversation. Palmer, the said student was referring to the much-talked-about and highly-awaited Hang-Out Party coming up on the third Saturday of this month. Described as one of those events that will place the film industry in Cameroon on a gold-coated platform during this decade, the Hang-Out Party is an initiative of Cam Movies, a latest project that seeks to use every avenue to promote the seventh art in Cameroon. It may only sound as a party for partying celebrities, but the November 17 Hang Out is fatter than that. Within it lies other things to celebrate – a recognition of committed efforts by daring artists/technicians and the birth of a newborn (production) into the now enviable Cameroonian movie family. The up-coming Hang-Out has left no one indifferent, not even, let alone the media. To find out more about this idea and how exactly it shall be packaged, we caught up with one of its main organizers, South Africa-based Fred Kenyati. To say Kenyati has known sleep these past couple of months is not convincing. The actor cum entertainment promoter has relentlessly worked behind the scenes to set the stage for the memorable event coming up in just a few days. In the following chat with Ernest Kanjo, the Cam Movies founder talks about the timing of the Hang-Out Party, its composition, the people expected to be present, amongst other things. Excerpts!

It sounds like an end-of-year gift! That Cameroonian actors and technicians will have another golden opportunity to improve on their skills and learn new ones is a thing to be elated about. A weeklong workshop is being organized to that effect. Coming up from 19-24 20 November 2012, “Know Your Craft”, as the workshop is dubbed is expected to introduce ample knowledge to actors and technicians in areas such as acting, scene study, auditioning, camera operations, lighting, sound, photography and directing.

Her friends and teachers would be the last people to be surprised, if at all any would be, when her single officially hits the gospel music market on November 5, 2012. These folks would certainly have been expecting this, after all, Suzie Ukum, in her childhood and school days showed enormous signs of becoming a celebrated singer. “At five, I would compose songs which my teachers used for music lessons to the benefit of the entire class,” the 27-year-old latest gospel singer explained.
