Filmmakers Association of Namibia (FAN) was established in 2000 with the thrust of upholding the growth and development of the Namibian film and video industry. The association survives through support from its members. FAN does not only depend on information sharing from local film industries but rather international as well. The organization, in partnership with the Namibia Film Commission, and other bodies strives towards common goals that support the industry. The idea is to advance the Namibian film community as a whole.
