African Film Festival Sydney 2007

Events – October 8th, 2007 by Don

The Sydney African Film Festival is a colourful and exciting event that celebrates African cinema and culture organised by a group of volunteers and students seeking to raise funds for Hands of Help - a grass roots charity that provides opportunities for young volunteers and medical students to visit Africa to improve the health and education of people living in poverty.

The film festival supports cultural diversity and promotes awareness of African Culture and community involvement and interaction with Africa, African’s living in Australia and in addition to this, the festival supports creative arts and filmmaking from the African region and provides the community with access to view a variety of films that would otherwise not be available.

In 2007 the Sydney African Film Festival will be held at the Chauvel Cinema Sydney from the 19th - 21st October 2007 and will debut on the South Coast of NSW from 20th - 21st October 2007 at Anita’s Theatre in Thirroul, 20 mins north of Wollongong.
