from This is My Africa
Once again, film lovers will have an opportunity to check out the Newark Black Film Festival at the NJ State Museum in Trenton this summer. A full roster of movies - old and new - explore different aspects of the African American experience during this six week, FREE, festival. In recent years, this Festival has played host to numerous emerging filmmakers, directors, actors, writers, and producers who have mingled with viewers throughout the event. For a full listing of films and events, you can go to the State Museum's website at www.state.nj.us/state/museum/index.htm
One featured film is Zina Saro-Wiwa's award winning documentary film, This Is My Africa. The memories, dreams, culture and experiences of 20 London-based Africans and Africa-lovers are woven into a "...50-minute crash course in African culture."
