New Orléans Afrikan Film and Arts Festival - APPEL 2009
Dear Friend of NOAFEST,
We need your help to keep Cinéma Première, our monthly celebration
of new international and American films, alive and well!
We want to continue to host free screenings and performances
in a festive, interactive space of dialogue,
bringing together a diverse public,
united by the desire to enjoy powerful artistic experiences and to engage
in meaningful exchange with filmmakers and other spectators.
In 2008 Cinéma Première brought you South African filmmaker Zola Maseko
for the New Orleans premiere of his feature film, Drum;
American filmmaker Charles Burnett and his latest film,
Namibia: The Struggle for Liberation;
Ugandan-born director Lovinsa Kavuma (Rape for Who I Am)
and American director Louise Hogarth (Angels in the Dust).
In November we screened Spike Lee’s Miracle at St Anna
as a tribute to firefighters,veterans and other unsung heroes and heroines ;
and in December, our holiday offering to the City’s children was Kirikou,
the animated film inspired by African oral tales.
Our spring 2009 cycle, Cinéma Créole, will focus
on films set in New Orleans’s sister communities, Haiti and the Caribbean.
Please contribute whatever you can!
