goings on about town, africa division*

this week starts the african film festival/new york at the walter reade theater in the lincoln center. i am having a hard time accessing the schedule pages for exact details(1), but among the highlights are the showing of ousmane sembene’s latest pic “molaade” a special showing of sotigui kouyate’s “keita” and at some point zeze gamboa’s “the hero” will show as well.

friday 4/29, roseland ballrom: the sister event to the film festival, the annual great african ball being headlined by king sunny ade. details here.
