LIBREVILLE, Gabon — The Institut Gabonais de l’Image et du Son (IGIS) held its fifth ordinary session of the Board of Directors, led by President Régis Massimba, to evaluate activities and set a new course for the national audiovisual sector.
The focus was on rejuvenating the IGIS, a cornerstone of Gabon’s cultural policy. During the meeting, the Board delved into the institution’s financial status, internal organization, and ongoing cinematic production projects.
The President emphasized the need to reposition IGIS at the heart of Gabon’s cultural policy and to introduce a new dynamic grounded in rigor and creativity. Efforts to reinforce public and private partnerships were highlighted as vital for supporting local production. This strategy is part of a series of measures following the April 2024 session that aimed to overcome the structural challenges IGIS faced.
The new direction includes accelerating reforms and reestablishing IGIS as a key player in Gabon’s cinematic and audiovisual development.
The session marked a continuation of the institution’s commitment to overcoming significant hurdles, including outdated infrastructure and insufficient funding.
As IGIS embarks on this new phase, the Board is optimistic about the potential for growth and development within the sector.
The institution’s strategic priorities for 2026 encompass digital modernization, content support, sector structuring, and institutional reform, all aimed at bolstering Gabon’s digital sovereignty.
The IGIS’s journey to revitalize Gabon’s audiovisual industry is being monitored by both local and international stakeholders, who hope the new leadership will achieve substantial progress.
The success of these efforts could determine the future trajectory of Gabon’s audiovisual sector.
