The New York African Film Festival held it’s annual gala last Friday, and it was no surprise that the film chosen for celebratory purposes was the ambitious and highly anticipated, Half of a Yellow Sun, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton and Anika Noni Rose.
It’s that time again! The New York African Film Festival is back and this time the celebratory themes are seeped in the relevance of the accessibility of stories that for too long remained buried under the weight of myths and nonchalance.
