Empowering Namibian Filmmakers
A larger membership base increases the association’s influence and bargaining power when advocating for industry issues, negotiating with stakeholders, or lobbying for policy change. A growing membership brings in diverse voices, ideas, and perspectives, enriching the association’s activities and decision-making processes.
Here are some key reasons why you should join FAN
Members gain access to a network of professionals, including directors, producers, writers, actors, and technicians. This can lead to collaborations, mentorships, and career opportunities.
We wish to provide members with valuable resources such as industry news, job boards, funding opportunities, and access to equipment or facilities at discounted rates.
We offer workshops, seminars, and training programs that help members develop new skills, stay updated on industry trends, and improve their craft.
We advocate on behalf of our members, lobbying for favourable policies, better working conditions, and fair compensation. We serve as a collective voice in industry negotiations.
Be part of our competitions, festivals, and award ceremonies, giving members the opportunity to showcase their work and gain recognition within the industry.
Receive discounts on industry-related products and services, such as film festival entry fees, training workshops, software, equipment rentals, and insurance.
Being part of an association provides a sense of community and belonging. Members can connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and support each other through the challenges of filmmaking.
We have access to legal and financial advice, helping members navigate contracts, intellectual property rights, and other complex issues.
We promote our members’ work through our website, social media channels, and events, increasing visibility and helping members reach a wider audience.
Access to exclusive content such as industry reports, case studies, tutorials, and interviews with industry leaders helps members stay informed and inspired.
Being part of an association makes it easier to find collaborators for film projects, whether you’re looking for a scriptwriter, cinematographer, or sound designer.
The connections, resources, and knowledge gained through membership can significantly enhance a filmmaker’s career prospects, opening doors to new opportunities and professional growth.
Many associations have international partnerships and affiliations, providing members with opportunities to connect and collaborate with filmmakers from other countries, and access to global markets.
Membership in a respected filmmakers' association can enhance your professional credibility, signalling to others that you are serious about your craft and connected to the industry.
Being part of a community of filmmakers can be creatively stimulating, providing new ideas, perspectives, and motivation to pursue innovative projects.
We are The Filmmakers’ Association of Namibia, and our objective is to promote the growth and development of the Namibian film and video industry.
