Human Rights Arts & Film Festival (HRAFF)
In its second year, this Melbourne Film, Music & Arts Festival is coming to Sydney from Thursday December 4th to Sunday December 7th. This festival seems to be attracting all the right kind of attention and has plenty of support. Check out their website – it has great links to other Human Rights festivals around the world. Put this one in your diary!
African Perspectives: Recent African Cinema
Where would Sydney film-goers be without Dendy? If you’re sick of cinematic take-away, then you’ll appreciate having a place like this in town. I’m certainly glad they’re giving us this African Film Festival. They’re showing 5 films over 3 days – from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th of December. Screenings include the Oscar-nominated ‘War Dance’ by directors Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine. The festival is being presented in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art. Check the MCA website or Dendy’s for screening details and for more information of MCA’s current exhibition of Yinka Shonibare‘s artwork
