I know the question is boiling in the minds of a lot of fans, if the Cameroon Film Industry is ripe enough for the spring of "mushroom awarding". The answer to this question is yes. CFI is ready to embrace as many award host as the days of a month. The spring of mushroom awarding started in 2012 which signals a rapid growth of the Cameroon Film Industry.

The Cameroon Film Industry/entertainment industry has so far hosted the following awards;
Ecrans Noir
The Dream Africa Movie Awards (DAMA)
The Cameroon Entertainment Awards (CEA)
The Cam Movies Merit Awards (CMMA)
Elegance 237 or Cameroon Diaspora Awards (CDA)
With the exception of Ecran Noir, The rest of the Award emerged in 2012 alone though the Dama was however at it's second edition.
In 2013, the Cameroon Film Industry will be blessed with even more Awards. Early 2013 has seen the birth of the Cameroonian Movie Awards (CMA), which is said to be holding this July 2013 at Azam Hotel in Bamenda. 2013 has also seen the birth of the Cameroon Academy Awards or Sonnah Awards which is going to be holding at the Luxurious Hilton Hotel in Yaounde this December 2013.

The real problem is that most filmmakers don't no how, when and where to deposit their movies to following Cameroonian film festivals. And what is conditions of all these film festivals?
ReplyDeleteIt seems more easy to send your movie outside of Cameroon then your own country. We need official places in all the capitol cities where filmmakers can send their movies and also regular updates through email, website, news etc concerning film festivals.
Keep up the good work.
God bless
