The Sierra Leone National Film Workshop (SLNFW) is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation created to support the practice and development of filmmaking in Sierra Leone.
Due to the need to extend and expand its capacity and activities, the Workshop recently underwent an important administrative and structural change from its original name of teh Sierra Leone National Film Workshop. Its has now transformed itself into the SLFILM (Sierra Leone Film Industry, Labour and Marketing) organistion. SLFilm is the new, non-profit umbrella organisation representing all economic, educational and entertainment aspects of Sierra Leone's indigenous film industry.
The Workshop is continuously developing programmes to help utilise film production as an important educational, economic, and socially empoweringtool, whether it is providing a voice to local marginalised groups through 'Participatory Video' or assisting with ambitious feature film projects aimed at international distribution. We depend on local volunteer filmmakers who arecommitted to volunteering their time, skills and energy for the benefit and development of the Sierra Leone filmmaking community at large. Our developing programs and services are available to everyone, irrespective of ethnicity, sexuality, religion or political orientation.
Despite working with a lack of resources, the Sierra Leone National FilmSLFilm Workshop has already assisted and provided support to a number of local filmmakers and their films, as well as enabling the fulfilment of a number of groundbreaking projects in Sierra Leone.
Our pioneering work in helping to develop awareness, build capacity and change perceptions about filmmaking in Sierra Leone, include the following:-
The first and only international festival of films either by Sierra Leoneans or about Sierra Leone. The Sierra Leone Film Network - the first and only online resource for Sierra Leone film production. Sierra Leone's first directory of films and film/video professionals. Sierra Leone's first active online global television channel, (and the first such channel, to be produced by local youth, in all Africa.)
