African Diaspora Internatio​nal Film Fest - Meet the Filmmakers!‏

Genre : Communiqués
Principal country concerned : Column : Cinema/tv

On the 21st anniversary of the African Diaspora International Film Festival, the Africa Roundtable is thrilled to invite you to a "sneak preview" of some of this year's festival feature films - including a series on Haiti - plus a rare opportunity to meet informally with the cognoscenti of African films for a Q&A.

"The future of our communities of color is directly tied to the expansion of our experiences, the depth and breadth of our reach and interaction with other communities and the framework from which our talent can stand front and center. Our vision is to see an informed and talented community coming together to exchange ideas and strategies for improving our respective worlds. Welcome to our future." - Reinaldo Barroso-Spech and Diarah N'Daw Spech, founders of ADIFF

The festival founders will join us for the discussion.

Pick up some programs, have wine and cheese and meet fellow filmgoers. The festival officially opens Nov. 29.
