The promoter of the International Film Festival of Ngaoundere takes stock of the 2nd edition, held from 8 to 12 January 2011.
What is your assessment of the 2nd edition of the Joint International Film Festival?
This edition has been positive. Unlike the first where we had achieved 60% program, it is 95%. All screen printing workshops, audiovisual and music have been made, and all the films that have been announced projected outside a movie, "In the shadow of another" Francine Kemegni, because that we had problems with the media.
There were similar problems with other carriers during the screenings ...
In general, people are asked to send at least two DVDs, but they did send one and it scratches. But at the last minute, we have everything scanned into computers and finally everything went well.
At the University of Ngaoundere, there was no projection as provided in the program. What happened?
All places have not been invested, and so I spoke with a completion percentage of 95%. At the station, we asked for projections of space travelers, but we have not had the agreement. We did not had a partnership agreement with the university to show films to the campus or even in the booth.
The objectives of this festival have been achieved?
Like any festival, its objectives are the exchanges and meetings. And then there was a partnership that has developed between the festival and IATA (Institute of arts education, technology, science and craft of Namur in Belgium, ed.) The exchange went smoothly between young Cameroonians and young Belgians. We also had a panoramic view of the state action for the development of cinema in Cameroon, Germany and Belgium. We hope everyone has been enriched by the experience of another.
What are the forecasts for the next edition?
A little more training. I'll make a few trips abroad to establish the resolution that was taken here to create a center of trade with Namur, through which Cameroonians will be formed by screen printing, and why not, participate in festivals there . I am convinced that mobility is crucial to artistic things are progressing, it is what the artists can move. The next festival will be held in 2012 but not earlier this year because financial difficulties. These are state or private contributions that fund a festival. We have not had that opportunity then, and would have to change.
what was the original budget and how much did you meet?
We did not get much, 150 000Fcfa on a budget of 25 million CFA francs. We had to lessening the things and we had to completely dig into our pockets.
