Who We Are<\/p>\n
The SLFILM Guild (Sierra Leone Film Industry Labour & Marketing Guild) is the first legally registered and government-recognised national trade union representing the country\u2019s film sector. Its establishment marks a historic milestone in the growth and formal recognition of Sierra Leone\u2019s film industry. The Guild was formed through sustained efforts to secure acknowledgment of the industry\u2019s development and to protect the rights and welfare of all professionals working within it.<\/p>\n
What We Do<\/p>\n
The Guild exists to advance and protect the interests of film industry professionals. We achieve this by bringing practitioners together, strengthening their collective voice, and advocating for fair and equitable treatment across the sector, whether for employed or freelance workers.<\/p>\n
Our work focuses on improving standards in pay, working conditions, and professional welfare, while promoting health and safety, equality, and continuous skills development. Through these efforts, the SLFILM Guild is committed to building a more structured, fair, and thriving film industry in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

In 2010, intense work and research was conducted that\u00a0including gaining support from international\u00a0organisations\u00a0such as\u00a0BECTU (UK) and\u00a0UNI (Europe). Legal documentation was also prepared and submitted to the appropriate national authorities including the Sierra Leone\u00a0Labour\u00a0Congress and the Ministry of Trade & Industry.<\/p>\n In 2012, the Guild finally received its formal accreditation as a Trade Union. By this time, other groups around the country had emerged to help represent their own niche interests. It was therefore seen as appropriate to recognise the diversity and strength of these various groups and offer all their members the collective protection and representation afforded by coming under the umbrella of the SLFILM Guild.<\/p>\n Through this considered process of democratic organisation, everyone working in the film industry – in front of, or behind, the camera; on set; in offices, or in the market\u00a0(irrespective of their role, gender, race, religion, disability or geography) – can enjoy all the benefits of belonging to a union that protects their rights and gives them all an equal voice in the development of Sierra Leone’s film industry.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n\n
