director and learn about his artis
tic process, his vision and the
cultural foundation of his work.
Every year, the Cascade Festi
val of African Films attracts more
and more visitors to its nearly two-
dozen film showings.
Last year, a record 5,500 people
attended the festival and, since its
inception in 1991, more than 54,000
film enthusiasts have attended films.
The festival is offered to the public
free of charge and at convenient
locations that include: PCC’s Cas
cade Campus,705 N. Killingsworth
St., The Hollywood Theatre and
McMenamins Kennedy School,
5736N.E. 33rd Ave.
“The purpose of the festival is
to educate people about Africa
through films by Africans and to
build com m unity by bringing
people together to view African
films and discuss issues of signifi
cance,” said native South African
Mary Holmström, a co-founder and
organizer of the film festival.
“The festival has become a well-
established Portland community
event with a growing audience
each year,” Holmström said. “It in
cludes African expatriates looking
for community, African Americans
drawn to African issues, students
from local colleges and high schools,
academics, retirees, returning Peace
Corps volunteers who are seeking
ways to share their knowledge and
experiences with other Americans,
and community members with an
interest in diversity and cross-cul
tural experiences.”
In addition to Haroun’s visit, PCC
will welcome directors Cambria
Matlow and Demetrius Wren to the
festival to present their documenta
ries.
Matlow will show her film, “Burn
ing in the Sun,” on Thursday, Feb
17. It documents a young m an’s
journey to improve the lives of those
in his homeland, in Mali, by building
solar panels.
ren will present his documen
tary, “Streetball,” on Thursday, Feb.
24. “Streetball” is a documentary
about soccer’s Homeless World
Cup, following the South African
homeless team through selection,
training and competitions in 2008
and 2009.
The Cascade Festival of African
Films has expanded from an initial
four-film program to an annual of
fering of 20 to 25 feature and docu
mentary films.
Popular festival events include
the Opening Night Gala, the Thurs
day Evening Documentary Series,
Family Film Day and Women Film
makers Week. An important off
shoot of the festival is the African
Film Collection in the Portland Com
munity College Library, where all of
the videos and DVDs purchased by
the festival are housed. It is one of
the largest collections of African
films in the Pacific Northwest and is
accessible to students, faculty and
the public.
Plus, the popular Family Film Day
will highlight the film, “White Lion,”
directed by Michael Swan from
South Africa. It features a rare white
lion’s struggle to survive alone on
the African plains, and a young
boy’s determination to protect him
at all costs. Baba Wagué Diakité of
Mali, artist and author, will serve as
host and storyteller.
A nd, on the last w eekend,
Women Filmmakers Week show
cases films from Uganda, South
Africa, Kenya, Ghana and Mali.
