Barbados Festival of African and Caribbean Film 2004
3Rd Edition
Français
« This year, we’ve expanded to two venues, The Olympus Cinema and the Frank Collymore Hall. We’re offering a bigger programme of schools workshops and screenings, a free family screening of a new form of animation using recycled junk materials, and a fascinating collection of specially invited Directors, Actors and Film Experts.
Get to know your special guests!
From the Opening Gala, featuring celebrated art-house film-maker, Isaac Julien, to the Closing Screening of a new film by Puerto Rican, Marta Vega, our special guests are here to talk and listen to you. They’ll be there at the post-screening discussions, workshops, Meet the Director sessions, and just milling around in the foyer like the rest of us. Look out for Haitian film-makers, Laurence Magloire and Elsie Haas, here to take us beyond the myth of Haiti as we pay special tribute at the critical moment of its 200th anniversary. Onookome Okome continues his exploration of the highly individual direction of Nigerian cinema. After last year’s screening of Tableau Ferraille, Moussa Sene Absa of Senegal just couldn’t resist being here in person to present his most recent feature. Gladstone Yearwood leads the burgeoning Bajan cinema scene with his Chattel House documentary, while two friends of the Festival, Arnold Baker and Tom Campbell from New York, are here this year with a film of their own. A face we’ll all recognize is that of Cameroonian actor, Eriq Ebouaney, who took the title role in a major film at the 2002 Festival, Raoul Peck’s Lumumba. And finally, to receive the Festival Award for its Contribution to Caribbean Film, we welcome a representative from the Cuban Film Institute ICAIC, which has given the region some of its most innovative and challenging films. Also from Cuba, Estrella Hendrickson Lorenzo of their International School of Film and Television has come to talk about opportunities for film students.
Come mingle with film-makers, film-lovers and film-experts in an intimate atmosphere where dialogue is the key. »
