Africa World Documentary Film Festival in BARBADOS

Africa World Documentary Film Festival,
BARBADOS

Feb 18-21 2010 at EBCCI Cinemateque.

Last year’s first Africa World Documentary Film Festival met with such a warm welcome from the Barbados audience that it’s become an annual event. The second Festival will take place from 18-21 February in the Cinemateque of the Errol Barrow Centre for Creative Imagination.

AWDFF is the result of an international partnership between the Center for International Studies at the University of Missouri, Saint Louis and the Department of Language, Linguistics and Literature, UWI, Cave Hill. The AWDFF sees documentary filmmaking as having a special role to play in capturing and representing the lives and cultures of the people of Africa and of African descent worldwide. This year, there will be 25 films set in South Africa, Cuba, Brazil, Jamaica, Senegal, Ghana, Guinea, Haiti, Dominican Republic,
Rwanda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Kenya, St Croix, Mali, Rwanda, Ivory Coast and the USA. Dealing with subjects from disability to empowerment, genocide, loss and redemption to creativity against the odds, the documentary format shows us the many ways we define ourselves and the multiple uses of film.

Through the Festival, not only are film-makers from Africa and the diaspora in dialogue, but so are audiences in St Louis and Barbados. So that the St Louis Director and his team, as well as the local curators, can exchange views with the audience, discussion time has been built into the programme. Screenings run 6-10 on Thursday and Friday, 2-10 on Saturday and 3-10 on Sunday.

The full programme is available on

Labowi promotions E-Forum

Labowi promotions E-Forum: Laborians Home & Abroad: Partners in Development

On behalf of the Nobel Laureate Week Committee chaired by Her Excellency Dame Pearlette Louisy, and in collaboration with the Laborie Development Foundation, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the e-Forum that will take place between the morning of Thursday 21 January and the evening of Sunday 24 January. The theme of this e-Forum is "LABORIANS HOME AND ABROAD: PARTNERS IN DEVELOPMENT". Its purpose is to bring together Laborians at home and abroad, especially young people, to discuss their respective roles in community development, and how they can work more closely together. We expect that this e-Forum will help to improve communication between Laborians at home and abroad, to increase the involvement of Laborians living overseas in community development activities in Laborie, and to identify possible joint activities.

The e-Forum will be hosted by http://www.facebook.com/l/449df;www.ilovelaborie.com, the community's new Website. To participate, log-on to the e-forum section of the site, where you will find very simple instructions on how to contribute to the discussion, with four sets of questions:
what can Laborie do for Laborians overseas?
what can Laborians living overseas do for Laborie?
how can Laborians and Friends of Laborie remain in touch and informed about the development of the community?
what are the priority projects that Laborians at home and abroad can work on together, with other partners, for the benefit of the community?
