Ethiopia’s Film Policy underscores the historical context and challenges faced by its film industry despite a century of existence. Recognizing the sector’s minimal benefits due to infrastructure, capital, and policy gaps, the document aims to guide and stimulate film industry growth. Emphasizing the need for a national policy to harness cultural, historical, and natural resources, it seeks to protect Ethiopian identity from cultural invasion, catering to diverse sections of society, including the disabled. The policy envisions the film industry as a key player in national consensus, democratic culture, and economic development, calling for coordinated efforts to make it internationally competitive.
