This Cape Town Festival was established in 1999, by then Cape Times Editor, Ryland Fisher, to address the political and racial divides blatantly evident in the City of Cape Town. The Planet Hollywood bombing in the previous year catalyzed the need to address issues of cultural diversity, tolerance and the inculcation of the concept ‘ONE CITY, MANY CULTURES’. The Cape Town Festival was established therefore, as a platform to encourage dialogue, cultural exchange and understanding through cultural and artistic expression.
2009 marks the 10th anniversary of the official cultural festival of Cape Town and the festival is digging deeper into our perceptions of race, our understanding of diversity and how we can combat the persistent cultural divide.
The 3rd edition of one of South Africa’s largest film festivals, The Cape Winelands Film festival, will take place in Cape Town and Stellenbosch. The 2010 Cape Winelands Film Festival (CWFF) is proud to present quality films from around the globe. The rich selection of world cinema includes features, documentaries and shorts, all of which have won over 300 international awards.
The Africa World Documentary Film Festival (AWDFF) is sponsored by the E. Desmond Lee Professorship in African/African American Studies, Center for International Studies, University of Missouri-St. Louis.
The AWDFF has as its objective the promotion of knowledge and culture of the people of Africa, in a Pan-African context.
In promotion of the Pan African context, public viewings of submission accepted by AWDFF shall also occur in Africa, Europe and the Caribbean.
The only festival in Italy entirely dedicated to the cinema and cultures of countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America is now a long-standing rendezvous for the fans of cinema from the south of the world. More than 50 countries are represented with about 80 films and videos screened.
The program of the 20th African, Asian and Latin American Film Festival includes the two now traditional “competitive” sections – Windows on the World Competitions – open to fiction feature films and documentaries from Africa, Asia and Latin America and three competitions exclusively reserved for Africa: Competition for the Best African Film and the Competitions for the Best Short Fiction Films and Documentaries.
