WELCOME TO ARDC

The Association of Documentary Filmmakers of Cameroon (ARDC) is a non-profit association created in 2014 in Yaoundé. It is the initiative of a group of people made up of former Cameroonian students at the Master’s degree in documentary filmmaking in Saint Louis, Senegal, former members of AFRICADOC-Cameroon, documentary film professionals and amateurs. The ARDC was born in order to: show African realities that are often unknown, to break the stereotypes that still exist on the African man and on Africa -territory, to popularize a film genre that is not very produced, to constitute a memory for our country and for our continent by encouraging the realization of documentary films As activities, the ARDC organizes every year since 2014. Documentary writing residencies where, for one or two weeks, budding authors develop long or short film projects, seminars: moments of exchange around a notion of documentary cinema with participants in order to provide them with clarifications, film clubs: screenings – debates around documentary films from here and elsewhere.
