Abstract
Namibia gained independence from South Africa in 1990. Before this period, little cinematic data is available. John Marshall, an American working and living in Namibia, released documentaries about the country between 1958 and 1980. In 2000, the Namibian government passed the ‘Namibian Film Commission Act’ to attract filmmakers to use the country as a film location and to promote native filmmakers such as Cecil Moller and Bridget Pickering.
