Interesting comment Razzaq. Very interesting indeed. Sadly, I wouldn’t red line Oregon, Pdx, and С��è��ý as we (African Americans) have just began our struggle for equal distribution of resources in the United States. Factually, this battle will never truly be over. After all, we are discussing one month out of an entire twelve, aren’t we? The KEY is a celebratory lifestyle that celebrates you, the person, the man. Come to think of it…aren’t you that really “hot” guy with the locs? ;-)

@ Grace, You can check out films from past festivals from the С��è��ý Library. They live at Cascade Library but can be borrowed and shipped to other locations. To see the films, go to Special Collections (http://www.pcc.edu/library/about/special-collections) on the library website and click on African Film Festival. Click on browse the collection to see a list of films and their availability.

Hello. Is there an archive list of all the films screened (with description would be great)? I’d love to be able to look up films I’ve seen in past years, or get an idea for films to locate to try to track down to see. Amazing festival! Thank you! Grace

@Razzaq, I don't see anyone claiming that the festival was set up only to celebrate Black History month. And to say it has nothing to do with African Americans... have you seen Toussaint Louverture? "...is based on the life of Toussaint Louverture (1743-1803), who led the only successful slave rebellion in the history of the Americas" http://www.africanfilmfestival.org/toussaint-louverture/ This is the longest running and best African film festival in the states. It is awesome. I hope you choose to attend.

Is this festival in celebration of Black History month? An if so, why arent there any films that are about African Americans? Blacks that are the descendents of slaves. This is what Carter G. Woodson wanted when he created Black History month. Only Oregon, pdx and С��è��ý would think that this AFRICAN film festival has anything to do with Black History Month and the struggle of black people in America. I’ve seen the display at С��è��ý sylvania last year that was to commemorate Black History Month. It was filled with anything but Black Americans.

I want to be careful not to be too negative to what might be considered an education, but depicted Africans as non-entities, nusance. I’m not to sure about what is here. When Africans look like Africans that are different, and of course appeared different in appearance, I’m fine with it. Anyway-I hope I’m making myself a little clear. I want to see Africans that are different, culture, accent and please dance for me with great music. I love African way of life. Bias, I grew up there.
