The New Orléans Afrikan Film and Arts Festival Project
Dear Friend,
If you joined us for our October 1 Gala honoring Vera Warren-Williams and Jennifer Turner of the Community Book Center, or October 2-10 for free Mississippi River 9th Ward Film and Arts Festival screenings and live music, the E Paul Julien exhibit or discussion with Gwen Midlo Hall, Michael Martin and Felipe Smith, at Bayou Road, the Lower 9th Ward Village, the Jazz & Heritage Foundation or the Contemporary Arts Center, then you know the value and fun in what we do!
Please donate to NOAFEST. A contribution, large or small, helps us continue showcasing New Orleans and guest filmmakers, artists and scholars, and screening stunning films from and about sister communities such as Haiti, Cuba, Ghana, Mali and Mississippi.
We need your support! Please go to www.neworleansafrikanfilmfest.org/donate.php.
Did you know you may become a member of NOAFEST (2011) for $40? In addition to the satisfaction of supporting a young and vibrant organization that needs you, you’ll be able to purchase a discounted ticket for next year’s Gala, as well as receive an invitation to the 2011 Festival After Party with filmmakers and other guests!
For those who missed the October blitz, it’s not too late to check us out this season. Come on down for one of our four remaining Cinéma Première monthly screenings, January – April! See below and visit our website for details.
With sincere thanks and best wishes for your holiday season,
