The Production Code (PC) of CFI is a legal document that defines and guides the activities of all the members and stakeholders of CFI. It leverages on statutory laws of the Republic of Cameroon, especially Law No 92/006 of 14th August 1992 and its Decree of application No 92/455/PM of 23rd November 1992 on co-operative societies, to lay down fundamental principles and precepts governing the production of audio-visual art works or motion pictures in Cameroon. The PC is also a harmonized version of the constitutions of the various syndicates or guilds that make up the Cameroon Film industry but does not in any way jeopardize the autonomy of any of these guilds.
The key objectives of the PC are as follows:
- To provide an elastic Production Code to Cameroonian Audio-Visual and/or Motion Picture stakeholders, which shall be attractive enough for them to willingly adopt and use as a working guide to their creative processes.
- To ensure, protect and defend the creative rights of the Audio-Visual or Motion Picture stakeholders, limiting illicit consumption, exploration and exploitation of either their products and/or their varying creative skills.
- To create business encounters with potential Financiers (Nationally and Internationally) facilitating investment on the Audio-Visual Art or Motion Pictures.
- To open up potential platforms for Producers to pitch their projects
