We keep making noise about the Cameroon film industry and keep blaming the creation of many "Woods" but do we have a structure called CFI?
Cam Movies learned that since 2009, there has been an interim body in Cameroon called CFI with Waa Musi as interim president and Colins Chatoh as Sec. General. But ever since this structure was created, it has never been able to elect its leadership.
Why is the interim structure so dormant?
When we visited a facebook page called CFI, we never found any resourceful information posted by the interim executive. We learned that CFI has only been able to hold several regional and national conventions which ends up in accusations and gossips.
How does the CFI generate its income?
We learned that CFI taxed actors, actresses, producers, directors etc, to register with a minimum registration fee of 10,000cfa. We are not sure if this is effective and realistic.
What is the money used for?
We can not tell in all truthfulness or confidence, what the structure has so far done with the money raised. However, we learned that part of the money is used to organised these conventions.
Is the CFI made of both home based and Diaspora Film Makers?
No, when we spoke to some big film producers in the diaspora, Cam Movies learned that some of them are not even aware of the existence of CFI.
Cam Movies Recommendation to the Interim Exco of CFI
For us to achieve unity, credibility, and quality in film making, film makers both in Cameroon and in the diaspora needs to be represented in CFI. CFI have to form a solid structure with clear leadership and defined functions. The leadership needs to be made up of accountable and trustworthy Cameroonians who wish the best for the CFI. After this structure is formed, diaspora film makers have to pay in their yearly contributions in all confidence. No films from the diaspora will circulate without the film maker paying the yearly dues. Finally the leadership have to draw up achievable goals and ensure it is accomplished by the end of the year.
Thanks,
