Speaking of Africa

Changeseeker, of Why Am I Not Surprised, says, “Yesterday, surfing the web for the first time since I moved last week, I decided to stalk my favorite website builder’s work and came across a call for applications for the Focus Features Africa First Short Film Program. The application period opened May 12th and closes July 15th, so if you don’t have an idea you’ve already fleshed out pretty seriously, it’s probably too late. And the competition is only for African filmmakers. But you never know.

The Focus Features Africa First Short Film Program will award up to five (5) emerging African filmmakers $10,000 (U.S. dollars) each towards the pre-production, production, or post-production of their short film. Winners will also participate in a three-day workshop in New York City. So, if you or someone you know would be interested in this opportunity, I hope you’ll pass along this information right away.”

    Is this not a perfect opportunity to speak out against the excesses of the Chinese against the people of Dafur?
    Are we not suppose to give credit to the ICC for its heroic efforts in trying to bring Al Bashir, that muderer and criminal,that oversees genocide in Sudan to justice?
    The question is not if but when.
    The wicked shall never go unpunished.
