The 31st edition of the New York African Film Festival (NYAFF) launched Wednesday and will showcase over 90 films from more than 30 countries, with complimentary screenings at three collaborating venues: Film at Lincoln Center (May 8-14); Maysles Cinema in Harlem (May 17-19); Brooklyn Academy of Music (May 24-May 30).
Launched in 1993, the NYAFF is one of the first film festivals in the United States to reflect on the myriad ways African and diaspora filmmakers have used the moving image to tell their own complex and nuanced stories. The showings are free.
