The revitalisation of national languages has for some decades now remained a serious matter for debate in communities of Cameroonian intellectuals, politicians and researchers. The debate over this revitalisation has elicited various cultural preservation theories and models, some of which present the use of indigenous languages in Cameroonian popular cultures and media production—notably cinema—as a strategic tool for the promotion of indigenous languages. Although the centrality of indigenous language media to the preservation of indigenous tongues is without doubt, very little is known about Cameroonian media practitioners’ perceptions of media production in indigenous languages. Previous studies on the issue have mainly focused on the prospects and challenges of indigenous language film production in the country. In a bid to fill the gap mentioned above, the present chapter examines Cameroonian filmmakers’ perceptions of indigenous language filmmaking. Based on documentary analysis, critical observations and semi-structured interviews with ten local Cameroonian video filmmakers, this chapter attains three main objectives. In the first place, it examines the state of indigenous film production in Cameroon. In the second place, it explores Cameroonian cineastes’ attitude towards producing films in indigenous languages, and in the last instance, the chapter discusses the filmmakers’ reading of their government’s cultural policies vis-a-vis indigenous language film production in their country.
