Created in 1969, in Ouagadougou Burkina Faso, FESPACO takes place every two years in the capital city. This year 2015, is Cameroon’s own ‘Damaru’, directed by home filmmaker Agbo Obed Agbor, among the other 86 films selected for the festival.

Why not say the secret of Cameroon films not having international recognition has been discovered by Agbor Obed?

During the rise of African Cinema in the late 90s with big filmmakers like Ousmane Sembene of Senegal, many African film festivals were organised for the promotion and awareness of the rich African heritage in Cinema stolen by the west as claimed.

Running from February 28th to the 9th March with a total of 86 films, ‘Damaru’ will be accompanied by two 2 TV Serials from Cameroon.

It is a blessing and lovely to see that the formally rejected stone has now become the only stone to sustain the building from falling.
