1st edition of the Cameroon Film Festival

Cameroon Film Cameroon Film

Definitely, no department is left out. Not the music, movies or fashion industry.

Mr. Agbor Gilbert Ebot aka AGE is the first PRO (public relations officer) of the Cameroon Film Industry. He also doubles up as a Film maker and producer. He has been making films for quite a while now and has produced Films such as Land of Shadows, Deeper Love, Far just to name a few of his many great works.

He has however, decided to make a bigger move as concerns showcasing the products in this movie and film industry. Mr. AGE is the brain behind the yet to be exhibited but highly anticipated Cameroon International Film Festival, CAMIFF.

This is going to be the first edition and the first of its Kind. He explained on a Social media platform yesterday and I quote him

"The Cameroon International Film Festival - CAMIFF Distribution Market is an international business market that brings together content creators of new feature film, script and unscripted.

Documentaries, short films, animation and trans-media concepts with industry executives who can help launch their projects.

For 6 days meet top filmmakers and content buyers.25th to 30th April in Buea @ the Mountain Hotel"

Cameroon International Film Festival plans to advance its corporate priority to make the Cameroonian film industry a culturally and economically richer platform by partnering with a vibrant and dynamic Corporate brand to host an exciting annually showcase which will engage Cameroonian and international films.

The Cameroon International Film Festival (CAMIFF) is put forward as an event that will showcase and present a complete immersion into the world of film making with participation from actors, directors, scriptwriters, cinematographers, sound engineers, editors, light engineers, students, equipment manufacturers and media.

The festival will feature a series of workshops and training opportunities to raise the standards of the local industry; networking events such as the film and equipment market wherein partnerships are encouraged through development of content trade channels; and a film programme that will screen various films over.

It could only definitely get better than this. We wish the film industry blessings as they take this giant move. We will definitely have a world recognition.
