Jacob Burns Film Center's African Film
Festival
|
|
The
infiltration of Western culture, tribal conflicts, and the
day-to-day struggle to survive are just some of the challenges
facing Africa and its filmmakers today. The exciting, funny, and
deeply moving films featured here provide an invaluable - and
unique - inside look at the hearts and minds of peoples about
whom we know far too little.
