WINDHOEK - STAFF REPORTER
The Namibian Movie Collection (NMC), launched in November 2009, now consists of 50 films made by Namibian filmmakers and foreign films with relevance to the Namibian film landscape. For the purpose of promotion, filmmakers agreed to grant noncommercial rights of their films to be part of the collection and the Franco Namibian Cultural Centre (FNCC) granted space in its Multimedia Library for public access.
For a broader dissemination and exposure, a catalogue of the Namibian Movie Collection is published on the website of AfricAvenir, introducing Namibian films and filmmakers to an international audience. “We believe this is necessary and crucial towards achieving the overall objective, the development of the Namibian film industry,” says Director of AfricAvenir Namibia Hans-Christian Mahnke.
Since its creation, the NMC has been reproduced and donated to the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies and has been purchased by several libraries outside Namibia. Read more about Namibian Movie Collection
