Bamileke, Jean Paul Ngassa, Cameroon, 1965A short documentary exploring the rituals and customs of the Bamileke tribe in Cameroon.
Jean Paul Ngassa
The history of Cameroonian cinema starts in Paris with a documentary by Jean-Paul Ngassa covering the situation of Cameroonian students in France, Aventure en France (1962). This same topic inspired Thérèse Sita Bella, the director of Tom-Tom in Paris (1963). On return to his country, Ngassa started working for the State service producing propaganda films, such as the 1965 film La Grande Case Bamiléké and the 1970 documentary Une nation est née. —Cameroon Online
