Nchifor Valery & Others representing CFI in Burkina Faso

The New Year wish for most Film Makers from Cameroon this 2013 was to see the Cameroon Film Industry gain international recognition. There is all evidence to suggest that this 2013 dream is coming true. Cameroonian Zafaa Award wining and Cam Movies Merit Award winning actor Nchifor Valery and a host of other film makers are at the FESPACO Film Festival taking place in Burkina Faso. Nchifor Valery is said to be representing the award winning movie "OBSESSION" where he played lead role, produced and directed by all time editor "Achille Brice of Binam Studio. We also learned that the director of the International Award winning movie NINAH'S DOWRY, Victor Viyuh also traveled from the United States and currently in Burkina Faso.  Apart from the two films mentioned above, there are other films from Cameroon at the festival. This comes after Cameroonian Award wining producer Agbor Gilbert also returned from Turkey attending another prestigious film festival.  It should be noted that the trip, hotel and other travel expenses are proudly covered by the Cameroon Ministry of Culture.

The movies "Supplication", "On the Brim", and other great Cameroonian movies are also cued for ZAFAA 2013 in London.

2013 is a year of possibility for the Cameroon Film Industry.

  1. Extreme vague information. When you want to write an article do proper research. Do not tell me it is an effort, do what you have to do but do it write. But the ministry of Culture did reject some people who were directly involved with FESPACO 2013 and took people who have nothing to show at the festival except ego. How is that for a ministry which proudly sponsors the trip of mainly the wrong people to represent filmmakers? How does the industry grow with these sort of games. I know you will naively protect her. after all you hope to get favours.
