FIRST FILMS SELECTED


Afrika Eye's first films selected.

Youth in revolution 
using Facebook and Twitter

Tunisia, January 2011 

How? Why? What was it like?


We’re proud to show Cannes favourite NO MORE FEAR, first feature doc of the Tunisian revolution. Told through the eyes of three activists, brave citizens who all suffer the ‘fear’ of imprisonment or disappearance, but nevertheless use their positions to speak out and force change.  
More information about other films soon.

AFRIKA EYE 2011 Fri 28 - Sun 30 OCTOBER at WATERSHED

Josephine Baker
HELLO EVERYONE!!
With festival dates now fixed, we're planning the programme. More African Diaspora films this year as well as the latest sizzlers from the continent.  Festival director Ingrid Sinclair was film maker-in-residence at the African and Diaspora Film Festival in New York and saw some new and old stunners, like the one on the left about Josephine Baker.

EYEFULL shorts competitors - get  your DVDs ready. The call will go out soon and we've already received our first entries.

We're also planning a collaboration with an African Film Festival this year - more news later.
