Policy & Development



Following publication of the first official document to acknowledge and identify the emerging landscape of the nascent Sierra Leone film industry (Putting Sierra Leone In The Picture: A white paper on indigenous film sector development), exploratory discussions have already begun with local filmmakers and various public and civil society stakeholders..

The stakeholders will eventually include several government ministries, (including Information & Broadcasting, Youth & Sport, Culture, Tourism, Education, Trade and Development) as well as organisations such as the nascent National arts Council, the Labour Congress, the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ).

See Union
Union?
We are involved with preliminary discussions that are currently underway to explore how Sierra Leone professionals working in film (or television) might gain national and international recognition through union affiliation with Sierra Leone's Labour Congress. This umbrella group, for example, might be called something such as the 'Broadcast and Media Union', and would bring together the power of all those working in these sectors - including filmmakers.

However, in order to ensure that all the important needs specific to filmmaking in Sierra leone, are addressed (or at least represented) thereis an argument for the craetion of specialist 'clubs/guilds/associations' for cameramen, directors, producers, etc.

What do you think?

Research and Publishing is also an important activity as it feeds into, forms part of, and flows from, the development of policy and planning.

Everyone is welcome to contribute to the development and discussions, so if you are interested in contributing, please feel free to send us an email, or add your comments to this page.
