FESPACO Africana Film Festival documentary.

"FESPACO" is a documentary film about the intricate relationship between Black Americans and Africans, captured on film at one of the world's largest film festivals – FESPACO, which takes place bi-annually in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Narrated by Danny Glover and written, directed, and produced by Kevin Arkadie (Writer, Producer, Creator of "New York Undercover;" writer of "The Temptations") , it's more "Reels" than "Roots", told from a point of view inside the world's black independent film movement. While it's a film about film, specifically Black film, the dramatic thrust of the documentary involves six filmmakers from the African diaspora who cross the Atlantic to enter their films into competition in West Africa. The results are surprising, enlightening, and often inspiring. Producing are Ivory Coast Productions and PRAI (Promoting Reel African Images).

The movie will have its official U.S. premiere at the Los Angeles Pan African Film And Arts Festival at the Magic Johnson Crenshaw 15 Theaters in Baldwin Hills. Currently, there are two screenings:

Sunday, February 10 at 1:25pm and
Monday, February 18 at 11:00am

The Pan African Film And Arts Festival takes place from February 7 to 18. Their website is paff.org
