Congratulations to African filmmakers for this another achievement. It is about for the world to know of the enormous talents African have in making excellent films…

African filmmakers have had some great achievements . I do wish however, that they would focus a little more on the positive aspects of life in Africa. Stories that help the underprivileged youth of Africa to escape and dream, instead of ones that simply aim to educate the world about African plights.

Although the festival is finished now and I want to say that it was a great cause of co-ordination between Africa and Japan…….!
I think you might be agree with me.

This is awesome! I havent had the chance to watch much African cinema. They are hardly available in a country like India.
This effort seems like a major push for world cinema. Cinema enthusiasts like myself can only wait for festivals like these to happen here! *Sigh* 🙁

Many-2 Congratulations to African Movie Makers. African cinema has already had a history of over one century. Based on the concept of “Africa seen through the eyes of Africans” has introduced African films made by African filmmakers to Japanese audience. Its a good co-ordination between Africa and Japan.
