Overview

This work raises the question of whether and how cinema promotes Cameroonian cultural identity. Basing her study on a sociocritical approach created by Claude DUCHET and Edmond CROS, she aims to define what is meant by Cameroonian cultural identity, and to address the question of Cameroonian cinema's quest for identity by tracing the origins of cinema in Cameroon up to the 2000s. She aims to highlight the relationship between: non-specific film elements, sound elements as defined by Martin MARCEL, and Cameroonian socio-cultural elements. It proposes to analyze the way in which Cameroonian filmmakers refer to social realism both in terms of expression in visual design and sound design, and to content realism in subject matter. It concludes that local cinema valorizes Cameroonian cultural identity in both content realism and expressive material.
