The Ecrans Noirs Film Festival has been on for a few days now here in Cameroon’s capital Yaoundé.

Apart from displaying different films from film directors and producers in attendance, the event was also an opportunity for them to learn and share ideas on how to develop their skills in the industry.

“It brings a plus for the filmmaker. That I am an actor who is on board is one thing, but it is better to learn from other people because at this conference we have eminent personalities who come from the United States, Canada and other parts of the world and it is always very good for a filmmaker to be cultured. It is a real mix of culture so we must take advantage of it,” said Severin Nelingui ‘Cristalor’, a renowned Cameroonian comedian.
