Notes: Film Evening for African Diaspora Artists

Description:

As part of our African Showcase Events, our Project Manager Patricia Matongo has organised a Film Screening Evening films of the African Diaspora.

The African Arts Institute and Artists Unite as One Campaign use the arts to fight xenophobia on Heritage Day.

On 24 September 2010, aspiring young film-makers and concerned individuals will come together on National Heritage Day to view thought-provoking short film pieces that address the current xenophobia crisis gripping our country post-world cup and explore other themes related to heritage, memory, human rights and democracy.

This showcase will take place at the Labia Theatre, Orange Street, Cape Town and will take the form of a competition, which will be judged on the day of the show by professional film gurus and the public at large. The winner will come away with various prizes including a tour to the Cape Town Film Studios in Faure, Learnership: formal learning (qualification) and workplace experience on a film set (10-12 months) and be part of the Artists Unite as One Campaign events and receive other prizes.

Guest Speaker for the evening: Leonardo Goosen (SAHCR)

Time: 17.30

Be involved and connect with other socially-conscious individuals of the Western Cape.

RSVP to this event by 20 September 2010 as places are limited: Patricia Matongo (021 465 9027) or pmatongo@yahoo.com.
