Twin Cities Black Film Festival
I didn’t hear about this this year until right after it happened. The 6th annual Twin Cities Black Film Festival was September 18-20, 2008.
Apparently there were “prizes, celebrity appearances and a Hollywood Fashion Show with
MN Vikings Darren Sharper and Adrian Peterson As our Special Guest Models!” I’m not sure what any of that has to do with watching films, but whatever.
Speaking of films, I would have actually liked to see Joanna Kohler’s I Approve This Message since it has local relevance. This is Joanna Kohler’s submission for The UnConvention’s “I Approve This Message” project.
What happens when filmmaker Joanna Kohler teams up with Christopher “Shakademic” Johnson to hit the streets and ask Minnesotans about Presidential Elections? Between Downtown Minneapolis, the collapsed 35W Bridge and The Green Way, politics get personal.
The Green Way? You mean the Midtown Greenway? *sigh* Enh, I’ll just watch it on YouTube instead. [part 1] [part 2]
Sadly, the schedule of events practically buries the screening information.
So maybe I won’t check it out next year, unless one of the films looks particularly compelling.
